Glossy / Matte Varnish
Gloss or matte varnish is a post-printing finishing process where varnish is applied either partially or fully on the printed surface. Gloss varnish enhances brightness and makes specific graphics or text stand out, while matte varnish creates a subdued, elegant finish. Although this process offers relatively lower abrasion resistance and limited gloss compared to other coatings, it effectively highlights design elements. It is widely used in premium label stickers, gift box packaging, and cosmetic labels to add visual contrast and a refined texture.
