Your items need a gorgeous new label to promote your brand and inspire people to try your products. Unfortunately, a ruined label can destroy all of your hard work in designing your packaging. There are solutions available, such as label varnishes, to assist you protect your investment.
Label varnishes, like lamination, come in a variety of colors and textures to help you protect and enhance your design. Each varnish type can protect your label from cracks, scratches, water damage, fading, and other risks while also adding to your desired appearance.
The Different Kinds of Label Varnish
While label varnish uses a film layer to preserve your label, varnishes work in a slightly different way. Label varnishes are liquids that are rolled onto a label and then treated or dried to attach to the surface of the label material. Because the liquid may stick to the nature of the paper and fill in any holes, varnishes are a fantastic alternative for paper labels.
Label varnishes, like laminates, come in a variety of styles that differ in terms of application and ultimate appearance.
- UV protection
- Coatings with water
- Varnishes in gloss, satin, and soft-touch
UV protection
UV coatings employ ultraviolet radiation to cure a liquid coating composed of a particular mix of chemicals, as the name implies. The UV varnish effectively bakes into your label material to provide a protective layer after it’s set. This newly cured layer functions as a permanent sunscreen, preventing fading and other elements from damaging your label.
Coating with water
Dissolved coatings, like UV coatings, protect your label with a particular solution. Dissolve varnishes, on the other hand, do not require UV light to set. These products are a clear, water-based varnish that dries quickly to protect your label materials from harm.
Varnishes in gloss, satin, and soft-touch
While the procedure required to cure UV and dissolved coatings differs, gloss, sating, and soft-touch varnishes describe the final impact a coating has on your label. Once applied, gloss varnishes give your labels a smooth, shiny appearance. Satin varnishes, often known as “matte” varnishes for laminates, remove the majority of the shine to give a flat appearance that allows other design elements to stand out. Soft-touch varnishes not only seem delicate, but they may also give your labels a soft texture quality.
With the Right Varnishes, You Can Protect and Enhance Your Labels
Protecting your labels is well worth the effort, regardless of the type of goods you sell. Cracks and scratches can happen to any product label, and there’s not much you can do once the ink has faded. Varnishes and laminates provide both protection and beauty enhancements; all you have to do is choose the correct one for you.
