Finishing Material Information

• Matte Lamination

A film applied over the label with a matte finish. It adds durability and protects against moisture and scuffing. Ideal for an elegant, understated look.

• Gloss Lamination

A film applied over the label with a gloss finish that enhances colors and gives your label a bright, polished appearance. Provides strong protection against scratches, water, and handling — perfect for bold, vibrant designs.

• Matte Varnish

A protective clear coating with a non-reflective finish. Offers a level of scuff and moisture resistance. Great for subtle, muted designs.

• Gloss Varnish

A protective clear coating with a reflective finish that boosts color vibrancy and adds a sleek look. Protects against minor scuffing and moisture, offering a bright finish without the full thickness of lamination.

Quick Tip:

Lamination = thicker protection + smooth textural finish (better for high-handling or moisture-heavy products).
Varnish = lighter protection + subtle color saturation + maintains natural material texture (good for dry goods and shelf displays).
