Gloss lamination is a clear, film layer laminated over a label. It’s extremely thin (no more than 2mm), so it won’t feel like your average laminated sheet of paper.
Gloss lamination is a clear, film layer laminated over a label. It’s extremely thin (no more than 2mm), so it won’t feel like your average laminated sheet of paper. It provides a higher sheen and clarity than a varnish.
Plus, it’s extremely durable. Recommended use: Because gloss lamination is more protective than a varnish, it’s best used on products that face high moisture, outdoor environments, or contact with chemicals.
Want the protective benefits of lamination without the sheen? Matte lamination is your solution. This has a heavier weight than a matte varnish so the subtle effect of the label is more pronounced.
It can also be overprinted with a spot gloss varnish to create a stunning 3-dimensional effect.
Recommended use: This is most often used in beverage applications, such as craft beer or wine, and personal care applications. It’s equally ideal for harsh environments where the products are exposed to water, weather, or chemicals.
