Varnishing Types
According to the printing surface gloss level, the varnishing is divided into 3 types, glossy varnishing, matte varnishing and satin varnishing.

Glossy Varnishing
With the glossy varnish, the printed box surface is smooth, shiny and glossy. In the sunshine, the surface reflects light quite efficiently. Therefore, a glossy varnished printed box usually has the very bright and lustrous color.

Matte Varnishing
A matte varnish gives the printed box a non-glossy, smooth even surface free from shine. This matte finish on the printed box adds to the feeling of luxury. It is the most popular finish used in the cosmetic packaging boxes and jewelry packaging boxes when the seller wants to impart a luxury quality feel to the potential customers.
UV Varnishing
Also called UV coating, UV varnishing is a process for achieving a thicker and even more striking type of coating on the printed box surface. The printed color appears noticeably richer and vibrant. It also adds the benefit of the fast drying of print on the production line due to the ultra-violet drying process.

The UV varnishing divided into 2 types, all-over UV varnishing and spot UV varnishing

All-over UV Varnishing
With the all-over UV varnishing, the UV inks are applied all over the printing surface. The high gloss level can rival and replace the glossy laminating. In the meantime, it provides the excellent protective qualities and a pleasant tactile experience to the printing surface.

Spot UV Varnishing
With the spot UV varnishing, the UV inks are only applied to the specific area of the printing surface to highlight specific texts or images, particularly the logo. The Spot UV varnishing on the brand logo is widely used for the luxury paper bags, boxes, gift boxes, cosmetic packaging boxes, jewelry boxes, and some retail packaging boxes.
