Special Finishes

We offer a number of special finishes to give your job that extra special touch.

Spot UV & Laminating

Spot UV varnishing is a great way to make your job stand out, it’s perfect for highlighting images or logos.

Along with this we also offer many different types of laminated finishes from gloss and matt to soft touch and everything in between.

We will always advise you when we think your job requires lamination, as it can  provide protection to items such as folders and menus.

Within this process, we can also offer specialist finishes such as heat reveal ink and scratch off foil finishes.

Foil Blocking

Foil blocking can add that something special to your job. This finish will set your job apart from the rest. Perfect for business cards, stationery and corporate identities.

Foil blocking is available in a range of colours and finishes, it provides a real metallic feel, something ink will never be able to replicate.

We can also offer a digital foil in conjunction with a laminate, perfect for those small run jobs that still want to be exciting.

Embossing and Debossing

Embossing gives elegance to all kinds of printed materials including stationery, invitations, cards, promotional brochures and much more.

We can both emboss and deboss on to printed and plain materials, to give a stunning finish. We complete all our embossing in house on two machines allowing us ultimate flexibility and control, also giving you the most cost effective solution.
