UV Coating Services

Ultraviolet (UV) coating is a process in which a tough clear coating is applied to a printed piece, the coating is then instantly dried by UV light. This application enhances the colors on the printed piece while also giving a protective coating, which helps protect direct mail pieces or anything that needs a little extra protection. 

UV coating works best on cover stocks and is typically applied by flooding the page (though it can be applied as a spot coating as well). The end result gives your piece more protection and vivid look. One benefit of UV coating is that they dry instantly. In some cases, this can actually speed up production.
