SPECIAL EFFECTS U.V. coating: Besides enhancing the visual impact of the printed product, U.V. coating protects it from moisture, dust and premature aging. The U.V coated material can have a glossy finsh.
FOIL STAMPING & DIE CUTTING: Foil stamping is used either to ensure security (e.g. to conceal the “secret number� on a mobile phone airtime recharge card) or as a design enhancement. The specialized foilstamping process involves the application of color or metallic foil to the paper or other material. Door hangers and counter top displays (like the ones seen in supermarkets) are shaped using a die-cutting machine. Die cutting is done after the printing process. The printed material is fed into the machine, and a set of rules (blades) cuts the desired shape. The more skilled the die maker, the more impressive the result. There are no restrictions on shape.
