The term “finish” encompasses all operations that the printed sheet will further undergo before delivery. This can include trimming, folding, die cutting or assembling, as well as much more complex operations that will give the printed works a different feel or additional character.
This finish produces raised and high gloss lettering. After it has been printed, the sheet or cardboard is sprinkled with a special powder that clings to the wet ink. When the sheet passes through the oven, the powder melts into the ink and swells, thus producing relief. This type of engraving gives prestige to your printed works by enhancing colors and offering a "refined touch".
This process consists of heat-bonding a thin plastic film onto the print. It protects the documents and offers a more attractive finish. The result can be glossy, matte or soft touch (peach skin).
This finish is generally glossy (but can be matte), and is applied to the entire document (full) or to selected areas (spot) in order to create contrast between materials, thereby highlighting certain elements. This method also allows for the application of scratch-off ink.
The type of ink that will be used varies according to your needs. Our inks of choice are generally vinyl products or food inks.
This method consists of covering the paper with a gold, silver, or other color metal film. The patterns are hot pressed onto the paper using a picture (image in relief).
This technique consists in pressing a pattern into the paper or cardboard to create relief. This process is also called dry printing as it does not require ink. The embossed pattern is created by a plate, which is applied onto the surface with pressure.
This method consists of pressing a straight line into the cardboard to allow for a perfect fold.
Punching and die cutting are the most common methods used to punch paper or cardboard. To do this, we use a "cutting die", similar to the pastry cutters used to make holes in pie dough. These shapes can range from simple notches to complex and unique shapes.
