2. Over oil process (varnish, matte oil, UV varnish)

Is in the printed surface coating (or spray, print) on a layer of colourless transparent paint (varnish), after levelling, drying, calendaring, in the printed surface to form a thin and uniform layer of transparent glossy layer.

3. Polishing process

Varnishing process in the application of varnish and hot press on two units. Printed materials are first coated with varnish on the ordinary varnishing machine, to be dry and then through the calender of the stainless steel belt hot pressure, cooling, stripping, so that the surface of the printed materials to form a mirror reflection effect, and obtain a high gloss.

4. Reverse UV process

Reverse varnish is relative to the traditional local varnish. It can make the same prints at the same time the existence of mirror high gloss effect and matte or linen non-high gloss effect, in the brightness of the formation of a stronger contrast, so that the varnish to achieve better results. 

At the same time, because the non-glossy parts are printed by offset printing, the overprinting is very accurate, which also ensures the printing accuracy of the graphics on the glossy parts.

5. Embossing process (refraction, deep embossing, full plate)

Paper through the printing plate cylinder and embossing cylinder pressure, and the product appears a variety of lines (so that the surface of the product appears uneven patterns of various shapes) of a post-processing process. 

Custom printing company logo when using this process can make the brand logo brilliant and eye-catching, the supplier to provide high-quality creative beauty beauty gift box packaging design solutions, to achieve big sales of cosmetics.

8. Gold rubbing process

Is a certain paste printed words or patterns, while it is not dry to lay on the gold-coloured metal powder to allow it to adhere to the excess powder to brush away, showing the gold-coloured text or patterns of the process.

9. roll gold process

Is laid in a variety of books on the edge of the first good paste, and then while it is not dry to lay on the golden metal powder to allow its adhesion, the process of presenting a gold-coloured text or pattern.

10. Strike process (convex, concave, Braille, embossed)

Is a special process technology in the surface finishing of printed materials, it applies Yin (concave), Yang (convex) moulds, mechanical action to apply more than the elastic limit of the printed substrate pressure, artistic processing on the surface of the printed materials. Enhance the three-dimensional sense of printed graphics.

11. Screen printing process

Including UV frosted, UV ice flower, UV foam, UV wrinkles, UV lettering, UV refractive, UV gemstone, UV light solid colour ink, UV varnish and other UV processes.

The diameter of the hole is larger, the number of holes is smaller, there are two ways of manual and machine, each stamping action, can penetrate more than one sheet, a certain thickness of the substrate.

14. Indentation process

Is the use of steel wire through the embossing, in the paper pressure marks, or leave a groove for bending a processing process.

15. Strike process (convex, concave, Braille, embossing)

Is a special process technology in the surface finishing of printed materials, it applies the Yin (concave), Yang (convex) moulds, mechanical action to apply more than the elastic limit of the printed substrate pressure, artistic processing on the surface of the printed materials.
