Pergament Printing House is one of the few printing houses in the CIS countries that can print labels on high-quality metallized paper. So what is the difficulty and the particularity of printing on metallized paper? Let’s take it step by step.
What is “metallized paper”?
Metallized paper for printing is paper whose surface is coated, on one or both sides, with a thin layer of metal or metallic foil. It is often used in printing for producing labels for alcoholic products, cosmetics and perfumery. With metallized paper, the printed image acquires shine and brightness, which looks especially striking under good lighting or in sunlight. When used skillfully, it produces an almost complete imitation of metal — colour, gloss, mirror effect.
Metallized paper, like all non-absorbent materials, requires special storage and pre-press conditions, as well as highly qualified personnel working with it. That is precisely why using it brings the printing house to a high level of service in the printing field.
Features and technology of printing labels on metallized paper
For printing labels on metallized paper special foil inks are used. They are designed for non-absorbent surfaces. Printing on metallized paper at Pergament Printing House is done using the offset method on a 4-colour KBA Rapida press. The high technical capabilities of this machine make it possible to print large runs with minimal time and financial costs. After printing, the run comes out practically ready for post-press processing and requires no separate drying operations etc.
Post-press processing of runs on metallized paper
As options for post-press processing of such runs, the printing house applies the following processes:
- UV varnishing (full or spot),
- lamination with glossy or matte film,
- die-cutting of any shapes, of any complexity,
- embossing (blind embossing, foil stamping of various kinds).
