Enhance Your Printed Materials with Mybrightdea's Specialized Print Finishing Services
Mybrightdea provides not only high-quality printing services but also specialized print finishes that can enhance the look and texture of your printed materials.
Applying a special coating or finish to your print piece can make a significant difference in its impact. There are various ways to finish your piece to give it that extra flair.
Print finishing is a post-printing process that includes various specialized printing operations. Some of these processes occur inline before the piece leaves the press, while others happen offline after the piece is printed.
By utilizing Mybrightdea’s printing and finishing services, you can improve the functionality and appearance of your printed materials. One significant advantage of working with a commercial printer like Mybrightdea is that you can achieve professional results that a regular printer cannot offer.

you can get at Mybrightdea
UV Varnish
The process of applying a specialized paper varnish or coating over printed materials can provide a high gloss or matte finish to the piece. This technique can be used to cover the complete piece or certain areas to create a unique visual effect. The UV varnish finish is a clear liquid that bonds and dries with exposure to UV light. This finish enhances the texture and appearance of the printed materials, while also providing a protective layer to seal the paper and act as a durable topcoat. Such finishing is frequently used in magazines, high-quality books, brochures, and other printed materials.
High Gloss Spot
High gloss laminate, also referred to as gloss lamination, is a great way to enhance the sharpness and contrast of photographs and other graphic elements. This print finish adds a thin layer of protection to the printed surface, resulting in a smooth texture. It’s commonly used on covers to create a shiny and long-lasting finish.
Die-Cutting
The technique involves performing finishing operations during the inline printing process, enabling the cutting out of shapes, creation of perforations, and formation of creases on the printed surface. This innovative treatment aids in directing the viewer’s gaze from one page to the next by incorporating unique cuts and shapes.
Folding
The purpose of the folding finish is to adjust the size of printed materials to fit them into another element, such as an envelope. Folding techniques can enhance the appeal of print pieces and make them more interactive, including gate folds, half folds, letter folds, and others. The primary advantage of using a folding finish is that it provides a cohesive and polished appearance to the final product.
Embossing
Embossing is a printing technique that raises certain parts of a flat printed surface to add texture and depth to the material. This process gives emphasis to particular elements and adds a dramatic effect to the final product through the shadows and highlights it produces. Embossed printing can be combined with inks and foils to achieve even greater impact. A similar finish that can be used on a finished surface is called debossing, which involves pressing a shape into the surface to create a three-dimensional effect that is opposite to that of embossing.
