1. Spot UV is a specialty finish, a clear varnish that is applied to specific areas of your label. To make sure the effect is eye-catching and interesting, plan your designs accordingly - Spot UV Labels Brampton

2. Gloss or Matte – Gloss UV coatings provide a high level of sheen or gloss, and matte coatings give a dull effect. Both types can be applied in a spot application or overall pattern. These coatings can deliver high clarity, outstanding flexibility and rub resistance that rival or exceeds film lamination. However, the combination of these two technologies on the same printed piece can maximize the visual contrast between the gloss areas and matte areas. The result is that the glossy areas jump out at the viewer. Raised or Embossed – This finish is created with a special high-viscosity UV coating applied in a heavy pattern to exhibit a unique dimensional profile that is comparable to mechanical embossing - High Gloss UV Coating

3. Soft-Touch – Soft-touch coatings are unique finishes that deliver the feel and appearance of a velvet or flocked fabric substrate. These are typically two-part coatings and have been used for several years in the automotive industry. The advantage to soft-touch coatings are their tactile appeal - Printing Services Brampton

4. Glitter – Glitter typically is comprised of finely cut squares of metalized film and can be used in combination with raised/embossed or specially engineered UV gloss coatings. The embossed/glitter combination allows designers to create unique specialized effects with different colours, shapes and dimensions. In addition, emboss/glitter combinations can be applied to a thickness and provide excellent gloss and clarity to any printed piece - Printing in Brampton

5. Pearlescent – These coatings also are used in combination with an emboss or specially engineered UV gloss coatings. By combining a very small discrete particle of a shimmering pearlized compound with a gloss coating, designers can create their own unique personalized effects using different colours, shapes and dimensions. The effect is a rich, pearly finish - UV Effects Labels Brampton

6. Thermochromic – The effect actually changes colours with temperature and often is used to conceal type or graphics so that prizes, offers and messages can be revealed only when over-rubbed. The heat from the friction caused by rubbing causes the coating to change colours. Thermochromic coatings are available in various colours and temperature ranges (4° C and 37° C) - Matte UV Coating Brampton

7. Holographic – This decorative effect involves the use of a reusable micro-embossed film that transfers the holographic image to the uncured UV coating, commonly known as Cast & Cure™ (a trademark). The UV coating then is cured through the film to create the holographic pattern - UV Coating vs Lamination

8. Environmentally friendly – It would be remiss not to mention the consumer preference for environmentally friendly or recyclable materials. ‘Green’ coatings are available, based on renewable resources, containing low or no VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and have a low carbon footprint. Printers, in conjunction with finishers, can make the finished product even ‘greener’ by using low VOC or soy-based inks and then applying a UV coating that is environmentally friendly - Textured Scented Print Coatings
