Coating is a protective layer applied to a product label to prevent damage caused by scuffing or friction during its useful working life. Paper labels require an additional protective coating, either varnish or lamination, to shield them from moisture or general wear. Specialist coatings, available in various surface finishes like gloss, matte, and glitter are utilized through spot varnish techniques to highlight specific design areas. Varnish Label Coating:-The varnish protective coating safeguards the ink and label from common damage. A varnish coating is a simple and longer-lasting alternative to paper labels. Apply varnish to custom-printed labels to seal both gloss and matte finishes, as per your specifications. Varnishes help to protection against scuffs and abrasions, costing less than laminates but not as long-lasting. Laminate-coated labels:-Laminates are the most suitable material for labels that will be exposed to moisture, abrasion, and light. Laminated coating is considered the ultimate protection by industry experts, as it is considered the gold standard for label protective coatings. Laminates not only protect against scuffing but also enhance their resistance to smearing from oils and other agents. Advantage of varnish and laminate labels:-Varnish labels:-*A varnish can enhance the print and stock of the label it is added to. *Varnish labels provide protection against moderate scuffing and smudging. * Varnishes are cost-effective and provide a smooth finish to custom labels, ensuring a consistent texture. * A varnish can be applied to improve the imprinting on the label stock. Laminate labels:-*Lamination is a protective layer which applied to product labels. * A laminate is recommended for labels that will be exposed to oils or liquids, as it provides better protection for the label's quality.
