Label finishes
The finish affects how your logo looks and how well the label holds up. Will the product sit in a cooler? Live outdoors? Get wet? The answer depends on what the product goes through. Here are the main finishes, all listed in our catalog.
- Laminated: A clear film over the print that protects it against moisture, sunlight and scratches. Choose gloss, matte or textured, depending on the look you want.
- UV varnish: A coating cured with UV light into a hard, glossy layer that resists scuffs. A good fit for products that get handled a lot.
- Spot and matte varnishes: A varnish can cover the whole label or just part of it; a spot of gloss on your logo draws the eye. Matte varnish can be written on.
- Embossing: Raised areas you can feel, often seen on wine and spirits labels. Besides the look, the texture helps shoppers who are visually impaired find your product by touch.
