Uv coating
UV coating is another kind of screen printing techniques where special varnish or paint is applied onto the material and dried by UV light. One of the most popular effects is high gloss UV coating. This technique is used to add some special effects to offset products. Likewise, we are able to print UV coating on non-standard paper materials which may not be printed by offset.
