What is surface processing of a product?
1. UV Coating (also known as UV Varnish):
Currently, this printing technique is widely popular. People often desire a glossy effect on text or logos to make the design more special without losing its sophistication. The matte UV coating on printed covers increases durability and protects the surface with a bright and long-lasting layer.
2. Embossing/Debossing:
Through embossing, force is used to create raised text or logos directly on the printed cover without the need for any foil or ink. It adds texture and structure to the cover, making it more appealing.
On the other hand, debossing is the opposite process of embossing. It provides similar design effects and impacts as embossing, but instead of raised surfaces, the material's paper surface is pressed down, creating a deeper, more captivating design. This printing style produces a fresh and unique 3D effect. Embossing and debossing effects are often applied to icons and text.
3. Foil Stamping:
It is a printing technique that produces a high-quality and beautiful material for the printed cover. Foil (available in various colors) is pressed onto the product's surface using a hot stamping die to create an impressive and elegant effect. Icons and typography commonly utilize this printing technique.
4. Matte Lamination/Gloss Lamination:
Matte lamination creates a highly protective layer for the printed cover. It provides a frosted appearance, giving the design a delicate and elegant look. On the other hand, for those who prefer a brighter cover, gloss lamination is a suitable choice. It adds a smooth, glossy finish to the paper, increasing its shine and water resistance. Both of these printing techniques serve as highly effective "protective shields" for the printed cover.
