Surface Finishes
To create finishes, the surface of the paper is treated with special coatings. Depending on your preferences, your printed materials can be enhanced with a matte or glossy finish or a lacquered effect for even more impact. Dispersion lacquer, UV lacquer, 3D UV lacquer, or special colors are the most widely used among these. These lacquers can be used to coat the entire surface of the paper, or to highlight certain parts only.
In addition to creating versatile visual effects, like glitter coatings, heat-sensitive finishes, and soft-touch lacquers, these special processes also protect the paper fibers from external damage such as scratches, tearing, or fading in sunlight.
