Start with a visual goal and an artwork area
Choose the detail you want a buyer to notice, then identify its position and size on the artwork. A metallic logo, tactile mark and gloss pattern need different processes. Compare the intended effect on the actual paper and base surface before combining treatments.
| Goal | Option to review | Required check |
|---|---|---|
| Metallic highlight | Foil stamping | Foil reference, artwork detail and paper surface |
| Raised or recessed detail | Embossing or debossing | Shape, substrate response and alignment |
| Selective shine | Spot UV | Gloss contrast and artwork registration |
| Overall surface appearance | Matte or gloss lamination | Color, feel, handling and fold behavior |
Compare options on one approved specification
Keep structure, quantity and artwork constant when comparing finish alternatives. Identify the sample or reference used for approval, and review small text, fine lines and areas near folds.
Finish decisions depend on artwork
Logo shape, line thickness, color system and paper surface all affect the final result.
