Different Types Of Offset Coating And Finishes
Offset printing is a popular printing technique used in the packaging industry to produce high-quality and vibrant prints. However, to enhance the look and feel of the printed material, offset coatings or finishes are applied to the paper or substrate after the printing process. These coatings or finishes can protect the printed material, make it more durable, and enhance its visual appeal. In this article, we will discuss six different types of offset coating or finishes: gloss, soft-touch, matte, satin, oil & grease resistance, and water resistance.
- Gloss Coating:
Gloss coating is a shiny and reflective coating that enhances the vibrancy of the colors and the details of the printed image. It is ideal for products that require a high-quality finish and can give a professional and polished look to the printed material. Gloss coating can be applied to the entire surface of the material or to specific areas to create contrast and highlight specific parts of the artwork. - Soft-Touch Coating:
Soft-touch coating is a velvety and smooth finish that has a tactile and luxurious feel. It is suitable for products that require a premium and high-end finish and can create a unique and memorable unboxing experience. Soft-touch coating is often used for products such as cosmetics, electronics, or high-end gifts, where the customer's experience is essential. - Matte Coating:
Matte coating is a non-shiny, satin-like finish that has a soft texture. It gives a sophisticated and elegant look to the printed material and is suitable for products that require a subdued and subtle finish. Matte coating can be applied to the entire surface of the material or to specific areas to create contrast and highlight specific parts of the artwork. - Satin Coating:
Satin coating is a finish that is between gloss and matte coating. It has a slight shine but is not as reflective as gloss coating. Satin coating is suitable for products that require a balanced finish that is not too shiny or too dull. - Oil & Grease Resistance Coating:
Oil & grease resistance coating is a special coating that provides resistance to oil and grease stains. It is ideal for products that are prone to oil or grease stains, such as food packaging, and can help to protect the printed material from damage. - Water Resistance Coating:
Water resistance coating is a special coating that provides resistance to water and moisture. It is ideal for products that are likely to come into contact with water or moisture, such as beverage packaging, and can help to protect the printed material from damage.
In conclusion, offset coating or finishes can enhance the look and feel of the printed material, making it more visually appealing and professional. By choosing the right type of coating or finish, businesses can create a unique and memorable design that sets them apart from competitors.
