Popular Print Finishes Offered by Allegra
• UV Varnish: UV varnish is a versatile coating applied to create a high-gloss or matte finish. It can cover the entire surface or highlight specific elements for added emphasis. Using UV light to cure the varnish, this finish enhances both the texture and durability of your printed pieces. Ideal for magazines, brochures and premium book covers, UV varnish not only improves appearance but also protects against wear and tear.
• High-Gloss Spot Laminate: This finish sharpens images and boosts contrast, making photographs and graphic elements pop. Often applied to covers, high-gloss spot laminate adds a sleek, smooth layer that protects and enhances the printed surface, offering a polished, professional look.
• Die-Cutting: Die-cutting creates unique shapes, perforations and creases that guide the viewer’s eye or add interactivity to your material. Whether you’re designing a custom window in a brochure or adding creative shapes to a promotional piece, die-cutting adds intrigue and functionality.
• Folding: Folding techniques like gate folds, tri-folds and accordion folds create dynamic and compact printed pieces, perfect for fitting into envelopes or adding an interactive element. Clean, precise folds give your materials a polished, professional finish that’s ready to impress.
• Embossing and Debossing: Embossing raises parts of a printed surface, adding depth and texture, while debossing creates a recessed impression. Both techniques highlight specific design elements, giving your materials a sophisticated, tactile quality. When paired with foil or ink, embossing can dramatically enhance the visual appeal of your design.
