UV Coating Benefits
UV Coating | High-Gloss Cured Packaging Finish
UV coating delivers the highest gloss level achievable on packaging through ultraviolet-cured liquid coating. Glass-like brilliance with exceptional scratch resistance and instant production cure times.
Full surface and spot application options. Maximises colour vibrancy. Fast-curing for improved production efficiency.
Superior Shine, Instant Cure
UV coating applies a liquid coating that is instantly cured using ultraviolet light, creating an exceptionally high-gloss surface that exceeds the shine level of gloss lamination. The UV-cured surface is extremely hard and durable, providing outstanding scratch resistance and a glass-like brilliance.
Full Surface and Spot Application
Full UV coating covers the entire printed surface with uniform high gloss. Spot UV applies the coating to selected areas only, creating contrast effects similar to spot UV varnish. Both applications provide superior protection and visual impact for retail packaging.
Fast Production Advantage
UV coating cures instantly under UV lamps, eliminating drying time. This allows immediate post-press handling, folding, and finishing operations. The fast cure time improves production efficiency and can reduce overall turnaround time compared to lamination processes.

UV Coating FAQs
How does UV coating differ from lamination?
UV coating is a liquid applied and cured with ultraviolet light. Lamination bonds a plastic film. UV coating provides higher gloss but lamination offers superior tear resistance and is more forgiving on imperfect surfaces.
Is UV coating more glossy than gloss lamination?
Yes, UV coating achieves a higher gloss level than standard gloss lamination. The surface has a glass-like brilliance that maximises colour vibrancy and visual impact.
Can UV coating be applied to spot areas?
Yes, spot UV coating applies the high-gloss finish to selected design elements only, creating dramatic contrast on matte or uncoated backgrounds.
Is UV coating recyclable?
UV coating is thinner than lamination and generally does not impede recycling. However, it is not as recyclable as aqueous coating. Check with your local recycling guidelines.
Does UV coating yellow over time?
Modern UV coatings are formulated to resist yellowing. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause slight discolouration over extended periods.
