Finishing
Add the perfect final touch to your packaging. We offer a full suite of finishing options: Lamination, spot UV varnishes, embossing, debating and foiling.
Our expert team are happy to advise on what finishes will work best for your project.
Lamination.
Silk, gloss & matt - A thin film offers extra protection to the printed image and gives the most vibrant finish as an all over coating.
Coating and varnish options.
Inline Selective spot coating - silk, gloss & matt are the most common these are much more subtle but more cost effective especially on long print run for high order quantities
Offline Selective spot varnishes - silk, gloss, matt and velvet - these varnishes are much more vibrant that inline selective spot coating which is done on press.
Embossing & Debossing.
Give your packaging a tactile look and feel.
Foiling.
We can provide common gold and silver metallic foils as well as custom foils.
Window Patching / Apertures.
Apertures allow the contents to be seen and touched on the shelf.
Window patch is great for providing the customer a good idea of what they are buying while still offering protection for the contents.
Glueing options.
Different styles of packaging will require different machine glueing options. The most straightforward are:
- Straight line glued - Used in tuck end cartons and envelope base cartons.
- Crash lock glue - A crash lock base carton is stronger and fast to assemble.
- Skillet cartons - Are designed to be glued during packing, which is good for cereal boxes.
- Sidewall glued - Make base and lid style boxes quicker to assemble.
