UV Coatings

It is true that most UV coatings tend to be on the more expensive end. These finishes, however, are great in that they create a very glossy look that still tends to be durable and log-lasting. These finishes are called UV coatings because they are exposed to UV (ultraviolet) light during production. The exposure is part of a curing process that the labels go through during printing. A lot of products that will be stored outside can benefit greatly from having this finish on their labels. UV coatings are especially practical if you are printing labels that will include any special designs or a specific logo.
