Aqueous and UV coatings protect printed boxes from scuffs, moisture and fingerprints while enhancing colour. They are the most popular finishing options for retail and shipping boxes.

Aqueous coating is water-based, quick-drying and eco-friendly, available in gloss, satin and matte. UV coating is cured with ultraviolet light for a very hard, high-gloss surface.

Spot UV applies a glossy coating only to chosen areas, such as a logo, for striking contrast on a matte box.

We will recommend the right coating for your design, material and budget.
