Why laminate packaging?
Lamination bonds a thin film to printed board. It protects packaging from scuffs, moisture and fingerprints, makes colours look richer and changes how the box feels in the hand — from smooth gloss to velvety soft-touch.
Choosing a lamination
- Matte — elegant, low-glare and modern; the most popular choice for premium packaging.
- Gloss — vibrant, shiny colours that pop on retail shelves.
- Soft-touch (velvet) — a luxurious, suede-like feel that customers love to touch.
- Anti-scratch matte — matte look with extra resistance to marks for dark designs.
Lamination and other finishes
Lamination is often the base for other effects: foil and spot UV look their best on matte or soft-touch lamination. If recyclability is a priority, ask about lighter coatings or varnishes as an alternative to full film lamination.
