Finishing coatings and varnishes
Finishing coatings play an important aesthetic and functional role in modern packaging. In addition to protecting the printed surface from wear, scratches, and environmental influences, they also enable the creation of various visual and tactile effects that make the packaging stand out more at the point of sale.
At Jamnik, we use various types of varnishes and coatings, which we adapt to the requirements of each individual project, the type of packaging, and the desired final look.
Available are:
- UV gloss and matte varnishes,
- water-based gloss and matte varnishes,
- soft touch varnishes,
- barrier varnishes,
- blister varnishes,
- spot varnishes,
- combinations of different finishing effects.
We also pay special attention to the requirements of major international brands, where appearance standards and gloss levels are precisely defined. For more demanding projects, we ensure high repeatability and precision in the execution of finishing coatings.
- UV varnishes enable a very high level of gloss, fast drying, and good mechanical surface resistance. They are often used in premium packaging and to achieve distinct visual contrasts.
- Water-based varnishes represent an effective and versatile solution for protecting the printed surface and are suitable for a wide range of packaging applications.
- Soft touch varnishes create a soft, velvety surface feel and add a premium look and a special user experience to the packaging. They are often combined with spot UV varnish to create contrast effects.
- Barrier varnishes improve the protective properties of the packaging, for example, resistance to moisture or grease, while blister varnishes enable further heat-sealing processes for blister packaging.
