Special Label Varnishes

Finishing your labels with premium label varnishes can transform your finished design to give the ultimate luxurious look. On top of looking sleek and eye catching, adding a varnish brings its benefits in protecting your labels, making them more durable, protecting embellishments as well as creating that stand out look on the shelf. 

What are the benefits of adding a special varnish?

Adding a varnish to your label design has many benefits to transforming your finished printed label.

  • Add Protection – adding a layer of varnish on top of your label instantly gives it added protection to scuffing, tearing or general elements from damaging the material

  • Enhance Design – with a range of varnishing options to choose from, each create a unique decorative look which enhances the label design, whether you opt for a shiny, textured or matt finish

  • Professional Finish – adding label varnishes is like finishing a piece of wood with a coat of varnish, or nails with a glossy lacquer; it creates the finished professional look

What label varnish do I choose?

Studies show that consumers who pick up and feel an item in a shop are 70% more likely to purchase, so adding a varnish to your labels can make all the difference. With a range of textures and finishes to enhance the label design it will also entice your audience to feel your labels. Here is a run through the various label varnishes we have to offer.

Gloss Varnish (or laminate)

Adding a gloss varnish to your labels will give an instant lift to your labels and add depth to the colours. Gloss label varnishes brighten the look and add a shiny finish for an eye catching label with added protection from scuffs and damage. When added on top of hot foiled labels or embossed labels will create the ultimate premium finish with added shine

Matt Varnish (or laminate)

For a more subtle finish matt varnishing creates an elegant finish to a label and diffuses light back to eyes, thus not creating a reflective design. Matt varnishes can make the colours on a label look dull with a no shine finish. The results are endless when used on various label materials, inks and on top of embellished designs.

Tactile Varnish

Our tactile varnish is otherwise known as sandpaper varnish as it creates a rough sandpaper texture to your labels. This varnish has a different, more unique feel when touched and has a matt, dull finish. For a rough finish which will make people want to pick up your product this is a popular choice right now.

Soft Touch Laminate

For a velvety, silky smooth finish adding a soft touch varnish creates an elegant label design with a matt finish. When used on top of label embellishments it enhances the design and creates a finish which consumers cannot resist touching
