UV VARNISHING OF PAPER AND CARDBOARD

UV varnishing is essential in the printing and packaging industry because it enhances the appearance and durability of finished products. This treatment involves applying a varnish to the surface of printed materials, giving products a glossy or matte appearance as required.

Varnishing not only enhances the aesthetic appearance of the product, but also provides protection against factors such as moisture and wear.

Varnishing is used in many industries, primarily publishing, but also in producing high-quality packaging and advertising.

The choice of the type of UV coating depends on the design of the product, its intended use, and the aesthetic preferences. Because of its gloss and durability, UV varnishing is often preferred for magazine covers, packaging, and promotional materials. Gloss varnishes are suitable for products that need to attract attention with a glossy finish, while matte varnishes are chosen for a more subtle and professional appearance.

UV varnishing of paper and cardboard is performed using specialized equipment that ensures even distribution of the varnish over the entire surface. When varnishing boxes and cases, the glued areas are reserved.
