How to choose between varnishing and laminating?
Varnish and lamination are both used to enhance the appearance and protective properties of printed materials? So how do you really choose? It depends on your needs!
1 Depends on your needs for the appearance of the effect.
Varnish can be divided into glossy and matte two kinds of effects to increase the glossiness of the printed materials or matte vision
Make it look more colorful or more texture. Lamination can also be divided into glossy film and matte film to provide more comprehensive protection for the paper, so that the printed materials have better wear-resistant, scratch-resistant and waterproof performance.
2 Depends on your demand for product protection performance
If the printed materials need to have high durability and protection, such as book covers, posters or business cards, etc., lamination may be a better choice.
Laminating may be a better option. It provides an extra layer of protection against stains, abrasion and moisture. Varnishing also protects the surface of the paper, but not nearly as much as lamination.
3 Depends on your cost budget
In general, laminating is relatively costly, while varnishing is relatively low. If your budget is limited, varnishing may be a more affordable option.
4 Look at the environmental factor: laminating usually uses plastic film, which is not easy to decompose and will have a certain impact on the environment. If you have high environmental requirements, varnishing may be a more environmentally friendly option.
