Behind the printSoft-Touch Lamination: Production Notes

Soft-touch laminate creates a velvety matte surface popular in skincare and fragrance.

Look and feel

Diffuses light and reduces glare — photography looks premium but shows fingerprints.

Durability considerations

High-contact edges may need spot UV or varnish for scuff resistance in transit.

Pairing with foil and UV

Contrast finishes guide eye to logos — we sequence lamination before foil registration.
