UV Coating
</h2>
<p>
UV coating (ultraviolet) is a liquid coating applied to a printed surface and cured. During the curing process, the liquid hardens to help protect the printed stock from rubbing and scratching.
</p>
<p>
UV coating can be applied in specified locations across the cover, otherwise called 'spot UV'. It can also be applied across the entire sheet, which is known as 'flood UV'.
</p>
<p>
UV coating can be applied only to coated stocks, not to uncoated stocks.

Lamination
</h2>
<h3 style="padding-left: 30px; color: #002e6d;">
Matte
</h3>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">
Matte is a subdued and subtle finish, it doesn't add to or take away from the cover artwork. It protects the cover and absorbs light.
</p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 30px; color: #002e6d;">
Gloss
</h3>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">
Gloss can make colors pop but tends to show fingerprints due to the shininess of the finish. It has a higher glare as it reflects light. Gloss looks great for photos but not for dark or solid colors.
</p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 30px; color: #002e6d;">
Velvet
</h3>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">
Velvet is also a dull finish, like the matte, but it fees like a rose petal. It is very soft which gives a unique feel and finish to your book.
</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">
Lamination thickness can be either 5 mil or 10 mil. Plastics cannot be laminated.
