Special Label Varnishes

Enhancing your labels with premium label varnishes can elevate your design, giving it an ultimate luxurious look. Beyond being sleek and eye-catching, adding a varnish offers numerous benefits, such as increased durability and protection for embellishments, making your product stand out on the shelf.

The Benefits of Special Label Varnishes

Adding a special varnish to your label design offers several advantages that transform your printed label into a premium product.

Add Protection

Applying a layer of varnish instantly adds protection against scuffing, tearing, and other potential damage from environmental elements, ensuring your labels remain intact and presentable.

Enhance Design

With various varnishing options available, you can create a unique decorative look that enhances your label design. Whether you choose a shiny, textured, or matte finish, each option adds a distinct touch.

Professional Finish

Incorporating label varnishes is like finishing a piece of wood with varnish or nails with glossy lacquer; it provides a polished, professional look.

Studies indicate that consumers who pick up and feel an item in a shop are 70% more likely to purchase it. Adding a varnish to your labels not only enhances their visual appeal but also entices customers to interact with your product. Here’s an overview of the various label varnishes we offer.



Types of Label Varnishes

Gloss Varnish (or laminate)

Gloss varnishes give your labels an instant lift, adding depth to the colours and a shiny finish. This varnish brightens the overall look, making the label more eye-catching while offering protection from scuffs and damage. When applied over hot foiled or embossed labels, it creates the ultimate premium finish with added shine.

Matte Varnish (or laminate)

For a more subtle finish, matte varnishing provides an elegant look that diffuses light, avoiding a reflective design. Matte varnishes can make label colours appear subdued with a no-shine finish, offering endless design possibilities when used on various label materials, inks, and embellished designs.

Tactile Varnish

Also known as sandpaper varnish, tactile varnish creates a rough, sandpaper-like texture. This unique feel, combined with a matte, dull finish, makes it a popular choice for those seeking to make their product stand out and encourage customer interaction.

Soft Touch Laminate

For a velvety, silky smooth finish, soft touch varnish offers an elegant design with a matte finish. When applied over label embellishments, it enhances the design, creating a finish that consumers can't resist touching.

What are Label Varnishes?

Special label varnishes are finishes that transform your label design, giving it a more premium and expensive look. A varnish not only enhances durability but also makes your labels stand out against the competition.
