Popular print finishes:
- UV varnish: A clear coating that adds shine or a soft matte look to printed pieces. It can cover the entire page or just specific areas to highlight key elements. UV varnish also adds protection, helping your print last longer. It’s often used on brochures, magazines, and books.
- High gloss spot: This shiny laminate finish helps photos and graphics stand out by improving contrast and sharpness. It adds a smooth, protective layer and is commonly used on covers for a polished, eye-catching look.
- Die-cutting: A creative finishing option that cuts custom shapes, adds perforations, or creates folds in your piece. Die-cutting adds visual interest and helps guide the reader through your design.
- Folding: Folding helps resize printed pieces so they fit neatly into envelopes or other formats. Options include half folds, gate folds, letter folds, and more. Folding adds structure and gives your piece a clean, professional feel.
- Embossing & Debossing: Embossing raises parts of the design to add texture and depth. Debossing presses the design into the surface for a recessed effect. Both add a high-end, tactile feel and can be combined with ink or foil for extra impact.
In addition to specialty finishes, Allegra offers many binding options to complete your project. From start to finish, we help create print pieces that stand out and leave a lasting impression.
