What characteristics should glitter varnish have

To create stylish, attractive designs on various printed materials, glitter varnish is used. In printing, this post-processing method has become widespread due to its high density, density, and rapid polymerization. Main characteristics that influence the result:

• size of glitter particles;
• transparency level;
• textured shine.

High-quality material adheres well to the surface and does not peel off after printing, which ensures the durability of the finished product. Glitter varnish is compatible with various types of printing materials based on paper or cardboard.

Application technology

When using UV varnish, it is important to choose the right screen mesh with the appropriate mesh size: the holes should be at least 2 times the size of the particles, but the final choice directly depends on their concentration.

Glitter coating can be used both for outlining certain parts and filling the entire surface. Drying completes the application process.

What can you achieve by applying glitter?

Using this type of coating you can significantly improve the appearance and characteristics of the finished product:

• flicker effect – tiny shiny particles that can be metallic or colored, which creates beautiful highlights and a slight shine;
• textural contrasts – shiny accents make the design more dynamic and expressive, and also allow you to highlight key details;
• relief – Glitter varnish allows you to create three-dimensional elements, which is achieved through viscosity and thickness and adds a tactile aspect.

All types of UV coating provide additional protection for printed materials, which helps prevent ink from rubbing and fading, and also acts as an additional way to attract attention.

What kind of glitter can it be?

There are several types of materials, each of which gives the design a unique character and effect:

• metal;
• colored;
• holographic;
• solvent.

For festive decoration of printed products, you can use gold and silver shades. The ATTOLIS company will quickly produce postcards with glitter varnish, business cards, invitations to events or any types of cardboard packaging.
