Print finishes can influence the appearance, feel and durability of bespoke packaging. The appropriate choice depends on the board, print method, construction, design and production quantity.
Common approaches: Matt or gloss lamination changes surface appearance; foil blocking adds metallic or coloured detail; embossing and debossing create raised or recessed effects; spot UV can highlight selected areas. Availability is project-specific.
Artwork preparation: Foil, varnish and embossing may require separate production layers. Fine detail, registration tolerances, folds and glue areas should be checked before artwork approval.
Practical trade-offs: Tooling, substrate compatibility, finish coverage and number of production processes affect feasibility and price. A sample or physical reference can help communicate the desired effect.
