Lamination Options

Printed graphics without lamination will retain its original texture, which can create a unique aesthetic appeal. However, the print will be more susceptible to wear and tear, as it will have no protective layer provided by lamination. Over time, the lack of lamination may result in fading, smudging and decreased durability. While the absence of lamination allows for a distinct tactile experience with an initial cost saving, it’s essential to consider the trade-off in terms of longevity and resilience.

• Without lamination the print retains its original texture and cheaper to buy
• Lamination provides a protective layer that enhances durability
• The various lamination films can enhance the look and feel of the print

Matt lamination provides a non-reflective finish with zero shine. It adds a smooth texture to the surface while preserving the integrity of the print without any colour loss. This process enhances both the tactile and visual appeal of the printed material, offering a sophisticated and durable result.

• Offers a soft non-reflective finish to printed materials without any shine
• Adds a smooth texture while maintaining print integrity without loss of colour
• Enhances tactile and aesthetic appeal of the printed material
• Provides excellent durability against moisture, scratches and fading

Gloss lamination creates a high shine to printed materials, enhancing its visual appeal and making colours more intense and vibrant, particularly in well-lit areas. Additionally, the protective gloss lamination film provides excellent durability and is easy to wipe clean, ensuring a long-lasting and pristine appearance.

• Adds a shiny finish to printed materials, making it visually appealing
• Intensifies and enhances colours and images, especially in well-lit areas
• Offers excellent protection against moisture, scratches and fading
• Easy to wipe clean, ensuring a pristine appearance

Soft-touch lamination elevates printed materials by imparting a luxurious, velvety smooth feel that enhances both the tactile and visual experience. With a matt-like finish devoid of any shine, it softens the visual elements while offering a refined touch, adding a premium element to the print. This technique enriches the sensory engagement, making it particularly appealing for products where texture and presentation are paramount.

• Enhances printed materials with a luxurious, velvety smooth feel
• Provides a matt-like finish without shine, softening visual elements
• Ideal for products where texture and sensory engagement are important
• Offers excellent protection against moisture, scratches and fading

Spot UV Options

Low and high build spot UV utilise the same technique to enhance printed materials by applying a gloss coating to specific design elements. However, the key difference lies in the texture and depth each finish provides. High build spot UV provides a more tactile experience by using a thicker varnish that creates a superior elevated feel. This additional thickness adds a physical dimension and a heightened sensory appeal to the printed material, making it visually and texturally distinct from low build spot UV.

• Enhances printed materials by applying a gloss coating to key design elements
• Recommended for highlighting logos, text, images and patterns
• Raised spot UV offers a superior elevated feel and physical dimension
