3D Varnish: impress with your imprint

Your printed materials are often the first knock on the door of your target audience. How do you ensure that that door effectively opens? With 3D Varnish, you are already one foot in. As the name suggests, this new technique puts a three-dimensional layer of varnish on your printed matter. The result not only looks beautiful, you also create a unique experience for the fingers. Because 3D Varnish creates a relief on the paper, which guarantees extra attention from your reader.

Give your logo, text or image a glamorous effect.

As subtle as 250,000 atoms in a row

Did you know that the layer of varnish of 3D Varnish is only 50 microns thick? That’s half as thick as a sheet of newsprint, or the thickness of 250,000 atoms in a row. Still, you can clearly feel the varnish with your fingertips.

Differentiate with class

3D Varnish offers unique opportunities to make your printed materials – and therefore your company or brand – stand out above other communications. For example, choose gold or silver foil on a black background, giving your logo, text or image a glamorous effect. And can you imagine the admiring looks you garner when you deliver your business card with 3D Varnish?
