Now that you know what kind of paper to use, it is time to think about the different finishing options.
Here is a list of the most popular paper finishes:
Laminate
The laminate offers substantial protection to printed works. Protects against water and makes the paper last longer. You can choose between a matte or glossy laminate to give your business cards or brochures a different touch.
Lifted Printing / Embossed Printing / Stamping
The process of creating a raised impression is a specialized technique that involves applying a fine powder to wet ink, followed by exposure to heat. This method instantly produces a tactile relief effect, allowing you to feel the texture of the text or design on the card, not just see it. However, it's important to note that this effect can only be applied to one side of the card or paper.
Incorporating embossed printing into your materials adds a touch of elegance and transforms their overall appearance, making a lasting impression on your clients. It lends an original and sophisticated look, thereby enhancing your brand image.
Furthermore, the technique of stamping results in a striking metallic finish, perfect for capturing attention in products like wedding invitations, personalized office supplies, gift cards, leaflets, and presentation folders. You have the option to choose from various metallic finishes, including black, gold, holographic, and silver, each adding a unique and eye-catching element to your printed items.
