Label Coating Finishes We Offer

Matte Lamination

Non-reflective, sophisticated surface. best for brands wanting a premium, understated look.

Gloss Lamination

Vibrant, high-shine finish that pops colors and graphics. Best for bold packaging designs, high-shelf-impact products.

Full Matte UV Coating

Matte finish plus strong scratch and fade protection. Best for products handled frequently or exposed to light.

Full Gloss UV Coating

High-gloss shine with superior durability. Best for premium products needing maximum visual impact.

Full Release UV Coating

Glossy finish with peel-and-reveal functionality. Best for promotions, contests, scratch-off elements.

Soft-Touch Lamination

A velvety, tactile surface. Best for luxury or premium product lines that want customers to notice the label before they even read it.

Holographic Lamination

A rainbow, light-shifting laminate that catches the eye and adds a layer of visual security. Best for cosmetics, electronics, and premium products where standing out on shelf — and deterring counterfeiting — both matter.

UV Resistant Gloss Lamination

A heavier-duty gloss laminate engineered to resist fading and degradation from prolonged sunlight exposure. Best for outdoor labels, drum and container labeling, and products stored or displayed outside.

Thermal Transfer Matte UV Varnish

A matte UV coating formulated to accept thermal transfer overprinting. Best for labels that need variable data — like lot numbers, dates, or barcodes — printed on after the initial coating and print run.

Thermal Transfer Gloss UV Varnish

The same thermal-transfer-ready overprinting capability as above, in a glossy finish. Best for brands that want a high-shine look without sacrificing the ability to add variable data later.

How to Choose the Right Coating?

  • Need maximum durability outdoors or in wet/chemical environments? Consider Gloss or Matte UV Varnish, or UV Resistant Gloss Lamination for extended sun exposure.
  • Want a premium, high-end feel? Soft-Touch or Matte Lamination deliver a distinctive tactile and visual finish.
  • Need eye-catching shelf appeal or anti-counterfeit visual cues? Holographic Lamination stands out and adds a layer of security.
  • Running a promotion, contest, or scratch-off? Release UV Varnish is built for peel-and-reveal applications.
  • Printing variable data (barcodes, lot codes, dates) after coating? Choose Thermal Transfer Matte or Gloss UV Varnish.
  • No added protection needed? No Surface Finishing keeps costs down for short-term, low-exposure use.

FAQ

Our combination of coating and converting technology with deep adhesive-coating expertise lets us deliver customized finishes at consistent quality, rather than offering a one-size-fits-all coating option.

Coating adds durability, moisture and chemical resistance, UV protection, and a more polished appearance — all of which extend label life and strengthen how a product looks on shelf.

Yes. We work directly with clients to understand their material, environment, and brand requirements, then develop a coating solution to match — rather than defaulting to a standard finish.

Every run goes through quality control checkpoints, using advanced equipment along with testing and inspection to confirm the coating meets spec before labels ship.

We coat paper labels, film labels, pressure-sensitive labels, and specialty labels for industries including automotive, electronics, consumer goods, beverage, and cosmetics.

Lamination bonds a thin plastic film to the label surface, while UV coating applies a liquid coating cured instantly under ultraviolet light. Both improve durability; the choice usually comes down to finish (texture, gloss level) and the level of protection needed.

Yes — beyond protection, coating changes the label's finish. Gloss coatings intensify colors, matte coatings create a subdued look, and soft-touch coatings add a velvety texture that affects how the product feels in hand.
