Laminates are a film material that offer a thicker layer of protection making them better suited for labels that will face moisture, abrasion and light. Gloss, matte, and special durable laminates are available, depending on your specific needs.
Varnishes are clear liquid coatings that are cheaper than laminates and UV coatings but have the least staying power. Varnishes are available in gloss and matte, and can be applied to the entire label (“flood varnish”) or only certain sections of the label (“spot coating”) to create interesting visual effects.
