Protective glossy coating for durability
Key Benefits of UV Coating
About UV Coating
UV coating applies a liquid coating to the full surface of packaging that is instantly cured under ultraviolet light, creating a high-gloss protective finish that enhances colour vibrancy and provides excellent scratch resistance for Canadian retail packaging applications.
Full-Surface Gloss Protection for Canadian Packaging
UV coating covers the full surface of Canadian packaging with a high-gloss protective film that is instantly cured under UV light. The result is a uniformly glossy surface with excellent scratch resistance and vibrant colour enhancement, one of the most widely used protective finishes for Canadian commercial and retail packaging.
Fast Production for Canadian Printing Operations
UV coating is applied and cured instantly during the printing process, making it a highly efficient protective finishing option for Canadian high-volume packaging production with no waiting period between coating and cutting operations.
UV Coating vs Lamination for Canadian Packaging
UV coating is generally more cost-effective than lamination for Canadian packaging applications where premium tactile feel is less important than cost. For high-volume Canadian retail packaging and food packaging, UV coating provides excellent gloss and scratch protection at competitive production costs.
