Finish Guide

Bring your mockup to life with the right finish

The choice of varnish and surface treatment is crucial to how your packaging is perceived by the consumer. We recreate industrial processes digitally or physically so your prototypes match the final production 1:1.

Matte Varnish

Provides an exclusive, understated look without glare. Ideal for luxury products and brands desiring a modern and sophisticated expression.

  • Zero reflections
  • Often feels smoother to the touch
  • Highlights typography clearly

Gloss Varnish

Maximum color saturation and shine. Makes colors more vibrant and gives the surface a reflective depth that catches the eye on the shelf.

  • High contrast
  • Protective surface
  • Popular for food and toys

Soft Touch

A premium finish that gives the packaging a velvety or rubberized texture. It is a tactile experience that invites touch.

  • Extreme matte finish
  • Exclusive finger-feel
  • Scratch resistant
Special Effects

Tactile details and metallics

Spot UV & 3D Varnish

The contrast between matte and gloss. We apply high-gloss varnish to specific elements like logos or patterns to create depth.

Foil Stamping (Cold/Hot Foil)

We simulate genuine metallic foil in gold, silver, copper, or holograms. Perfect for wine labels and high-end cosmetics.

Embossing / Debossing

Create structure in the material. We can produce both raised (relief) and recessed stamping that can be felt with the fingers.
