Varnishes
Paper varnishes are applied to paper stock to give the page a smooth and consistent texture as well as having the added benefit of sealing the printed material to help preserve it better.
Paper varnishes include gloss and matte.
Typically, varnishes are applied to the entire printing surface when a page needs to be robust but without adding too much weight to the paper stock, making it suitable for magazine pages, magazine covers, and brochures.
Spot Varnish
Spot UV varnishes are paper varnishes applied to the printing surface and is cured or hardened by UV light during the printing process. This results in a glossy coating on the surface of a print.
Foil Stamping
Foil stamping is the use of a malleable metallic material applied to the print surface by using heat and pressure.
Embossing
This print finish adds physical depth to the embossed elements and thus, shadows and highlights are also produced in the design.
Debossing/Letterpress
Movable woodblock/lead type is put in the bed of a press, inks it, and presses paper against it to transfer the ink from the type which creates an impression on the paper.
