SPECIAL EFFECTS / ORNAMENTATION
& EMBELLISHMENTS

FOILS

Foils can add a look of luxury and elegance to any packaging. We apply foils inline directly on the press, eliminating the need for a second pass. Golds, silvers, or any color a customer may want can be achieved on this single pass on our printing press. As well as holograms and other custom patterns.

METALLICS AND PMS INKS

Metallics and PMS inks can be used alone or in combination with other effects, like coatings, to enhance your brand and give it a look that it deserves.

COATINGS

Coatings are used to achieve a look and to create barriers for food and drug products. UV Gloss, Spot UV, Aqueous Matt, Silk, Soft Touch, Raised UV and varnishes are all available with one pass on our printing press.

EMBOSSING & DEBOSSING

What do these two do for your packaging? They are technical terms for raising (embossing) or lowering (debossing) parts of printed surface. This special effect adds dimensionality to the packaging. It is used with or without other special effects to create a unique look and feel. You feel the embossing or debossing when you touch it. It truly does pop out.

WINDOWING

If you just want to show your product flat out, windowing is the special effect you need. It is – exactly as it sounds. A hole that is specifically cut and fitted with film laminate, to showcase your product. You display your product within the packaging to let the consumer know exactly what they’re getting.
