Lamination (Matte / Gloss)

Die Cutting
Cutting any shape — circle, oval, logo contour. Stickers, labels, special-shaped cards.
Folding / Creasing
Clean and sharp fold lines — booklets, flyers, greeting cards. Creasing prevents cracking.

Gold, silver, rose gold, blue and other foil colors. Hot foil or digital — brilliant effect.
Selective UV Coating
UV coating on selected areas only — logo, image or element. Creates contrast between matte background and gloss element.
Contour / Laser Cutting
Precise laser contour cutting — any shape and size. Cards, stickers, acrylic, plywood.
Serial Numbering

Frequently Asked Questions
Matte or gloss lamination — which is better?+
Matte lamination is great for elegant, business-style products — no glare. Gloss lamination intensifies colors and creates a shiny effect — ideal for advertising materials. We also have Soft-Touch lamination — a velvet-like feel.
What foil colors are available?+
We have gold, silver, rose gold, blue, red, green, black foils. Digital foiling works on any digital print, while hot foil stamping gives the best results on business cards.
Wire-O spiral vs regular spiral — what's the difference?+
Wire-O is a metal double-loop spiral — professional, most durable option. Used in catalogs and notebooks. Regular plastic spiral is more economical but also stable.
How long does post-press processing take?+
Lamination — 1 business day. Die cutting — 1-2 business days. Foil stamping — 2-3 days. Binding — 1-2 days. Combined jobs — 3-5 days. Express service is available.
