Print Finishing  

• Reverse-side Printing: With inside-out print the rough cardboard inside is printed instead of the smooth outside.
  
  
• Cellophane: With this finish the cardboard is coated with a thin layer of foil. This foil is available in a gloss or in a mat version. Both have a significant better optic than a simple varnish. In addition the product has a pleasant haptic and an extra protection.
  
  
• Mat Varnish: Unlike the inside-out printing, a matte finish is applied to the smooth outer side of the cardboard in order to create an rough and natural look.
  
  
• Spot Varnish: The spot varnish can be applied to most cardboard products. On a part of the motif (e. g. an image or a logo) an additional gloss coating is applied to highlight it visually. To give a better contrast with the background, the product is coated with a mat varnish in advance.
  
  
• Hot Foil Stamping: Hot foil stamping can be applied in silver and gold on cardboard packaging.
  
  
• Embossing: With embossing, individual parts of the design can be felt as elevation or depression.
  
  
• Die-cut: A die-cut in a sleeve can have an extraordinary effect especially when paired with a couloured inner sleeve or insert.
  
  
• Rainbow-Foil: For an even more refined appearance the record sleeve can be coated in a rainbow-foil to achieve a shimmering finish.
  
  
• Multi-Laser-Foil: This special coating adds a rather metallic shimmering finish to the product’s surface.
