Spot UV is an extra finishing step we add during printing on the film roll, We brush UV gloss varnish only on specific design parts, then blast UV light to dry the coating right away.
You end up with shiny sections sitting against matte packaging, which looks nice and also stops the print from getting scuffed easily.
Logos, product names and artwork pop in bright gloss over matt backgrounds, CMYK printing ca’t match this look at all.
This finishing makes products catch eyes on store shelves and feels more high-end to shoppers. That’s why nearly all premium coffee and nut pouches use this finish.
Hot stamping
Hot stamping is a luxury finish on plastic packaging bags.The metallic gold foil was heated and pressed onto printed pouch surfaces by a special machine and then left bright gold patterns.
It creates eye-catching shine against matte, kraft or dark packaging, making logos and text stand out to shoppers.
The foil resists scuffs and fading during shipping. It boosts a product’s high-end look with little extra cost, perfect for premium food, supplement and specialty retail packs.
Metallic Color
Packaging bags can also achieve a shimmering metallic effect without hot stamping. Metallic inks are used, printed, and then laminated with an aluminum foil layer; these two processes can combine together to create the metallic effect.
Compared to hot stamping, this method allows for larger areas of gold design without additional costs.
The shimmer stays intact even where bags fold, so it’s great for large batch orders. It creates a gentle metallic glow perfect for regular food and supplement packs to stand out on retail shelves.
Holographic
Holographic film gets tiny nano-diffraction patterns pressed onto PET or PP surfaces, paired with an aluminum coating.
Shift your viewing angle, and swirling red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple light shifts across the surface for vivid 3D light effects.
You can choose to use laminate full pre-made hologram film for an all-over rainbow shine or hot stamp holographic text and graphics on just certain spots.
Holographic pouches stand out way more than regular printed packs on store shelves, making them ideal for limited-edition product lines.
