Material
Silk Stock
Silk paper strikes a balance between a glossy and matt finish, offering a unique balance. It possesses a subtle sheen that imparts a vibrant and sharp look to prints, yet it retains a softer quality compared to a gloss finish. Renowned for its versatility, this paper stock is also fully compatible with ballpoint pens, making it a popular choice for any project.
- Balance of a gloss and matt finish
- Subtle sheen for vibrant and sharp prints
- Retains softer quality than glossy paper
- Compatible with ballpoint pens
Uncoated Stock
Uncoated paper lacks a glossy sheen and mirrors the texture of standard office printing paper. While the texture is rougher than coated stocks, it offers a softer aesthetic to designs featuring images and enhances text legibility. This type of paper is also more porous, allowing for quick ink absorption, resulting in a clean, smudge-free finish.
- Lacks glossy sheen, texture is rougher than coated stocks
- Offers softer aesthetic for designs with images
- Enhances text legibility
- Porous surface for quick ink absorption
- Ideal for writing on or embossing with stamps
Lamination
No Lamination
Printed graphics without lamination will retain its original texture, which can create a unique aesthetic appeal. However, the print will be more susceptible to wear and tear, as it will have no protective layer provided by lamination. Over time, the lack of lamination may result in fading, smudging and decreased durability. While the absence of lamination allows for a distinct tactile experience with an initial cost saving, it’s essential to consider the trade-off in terms of longevity and resilience.
- Without lamination the print retains its original texture and cheaper to buy
- Lamination provides a protective layer that enhances durability
- The various lamination films can enhance the look and feel of the print
Matt Lamination
Matt lamination provides a non-reflective finish with zero shine. It adds a smooth texture to the surface while preserving the integrity of the print without any colour loss. This process enhances both the tactile and visual appeal of the printed material, offering a sophisticated and durable result.
- Offers a soft non-reflective finish to printed materials without any shine
- Adds a smooth texture while maintaining print integrity without loss of colour
- Enhances tactile and aesthetic appeal of the printed material
- Provides excellent durability against moisture, scratches and fading
Gloss Lamination
Gloss lamination creates a high shine to printed materials, enhancing its visual appeal and making colours more intense and vibrant, particularly in well-lit areas. Additionally, the protective gloss lamination film provides excellent durability and is easy to wipe clean, ensuring a long-lasting and pristine appearance.
- Adds a shiny finish to printed materials, making it visually appealing
- Intensifies and enhances colours and images, especially in well-lit areas
- Offers excellent protection against moisture, scratches and fading
- Easy to wipe clean, ensuring a pristine appearance
Soft-Touch Lamination
Soft-touch lamination elevates printed materials by imparting a luxurious, velvety smooth feel that enhances both the tactile and visual experience. With a matt-like finish devoid of any shine, it softens the visual elements while offering a refined touch, adding a premium element to the print. This technique enriches the sensory engagement, making it particularly appealing for products where texture and presentation are paramount.
- Enhances printed materials with a luxurious, velvety smooth feel
