The coating is cured on a printing press using ultraviolet light and is commonly used for postcards, business cards and presentation folders as it offers a luxurious, dramatic look. Alongside its intriguing appearance, there are many benefits to using UV Coating.
Used across a variety of industries, this process is a great way to draw attention to designs, as well as being durable and efficient.
