Lamination

Lamination effectively protects the surface of printed materials from abrasion, scratches, or surface wetting, giving them greater rigidity and a better appearance.

We distinguish 3 types of lamination:

glossy - increases color depth and contrast
matte - decreases color depth and contrast
matte "anti-scratch" - decreases color depth and contrast, increased scratch resistance
matte "soft-touch" - decreases color depth and contrast, positively affects red shades

Matte films are commonly used in combination with selective gloss varnishing to achieve a special effect.

Hot stamping - allows printing an object or text in the form of a metallic object. Under the influence of temperature, a special hot matrix embeds the pattern/text from the metallic foil. The most popular hot stamping colors are gold and silver.
