Print Finishing

What are the benefits of using print finishing techniques?

There are many benefits to using print finishing to enhance your work. For example, some of the reasons our customers love our finishing techniques are:

What finishing techniques do you offer?

Digital Foiling

Digital foiling is certainly one of our most loved finishing techniques! Add a metallic or pigmented foil to your prints to create eye-grabbing accents in your work. Digital foiling is ideal for highlighting certain areas of your prints and drawing attention to them.

White Ink Printing

White ink printing is a technique in which white ink is added to black or coloured paper. As a result, the white ink creates an eye-grabbing and elegant finish that is bound to make your prints stand out!

Lamination

Lamination adds a plastic coating to your print. As a result, your prints are more durable and protected from scuffing and cracking. In addition, lamination looks professional and feels great. There are a number of lamination options available, including:

• Matt lamination
• Gloss lamination
• Soft-touch lamination
• Spot UV (high gloss finish applied to key areas)
• No finish

Embossing/Debossing

Embossing is an effect that raises your print paper to place emphasis on certain areas. Similarly, debossing indents the print to highlight key features. These techniques are often used to highlight text or logos.

Cutting and creasing

We use our advanced die-cutting machine to score, cut, crease, and perforate your prints. As a result, once the prints are complete, they are easily foldable.
