Premium Label Finishes
Foil, Embossing, Spot UV, Soft-Touch & More
A finish is what makes a label look and feel premium — metallic foil that catches light, embossing you feel by hand, glossy spot UV against a matte surface, and a soft-touch coating that feels velvety. We offer a full range of finishes on paper and film, and combine them so a wine, cosmetic or luxury label reads high-end at a glance and in the hand.
Each finish changes how a label looks and feels — combine them for a label that reads premium at a glance and in the hand.
What Premium Finishes Do
Finishes fall into a few jobs — shine, texture, protection, and combinations — and each one changes how a label reads on the shelf and in the hand.
Shine
Foil, spot UV and gloss add light-catching highlights, so a logo or accent draws the eye against the surrounding surface.
Texture
Embossing and soft-touch add feel as well as look, raising detail or giving the label a velvety surface you notice by hand.
Protection
Lamination protects the print from scuffing and moisture, keeping the finish looking sharp through handling and shipping.
Combine
Finishes layer together for a richer result, so foil, emboss and spot UV can work on one label for a more premium effect.
Premium Label Finish Options
These are the finishes we use most, and what each one does. Foil and holographic each have a dedicated page — the rest are covered here.
Foil
Gold, silver and colored metallic stamping for a bright accent that catches the light — applied by hot or cold foil on paper or film.

Raised or recessed detail you can feel, pressing a die into the stock to lift or sink a logo, border or pattern.

Combining Finishes for a Premium Look
Finishes look best when they work together — pairing two finishes adds a second layer you can see and feel on the same label.
Foil + Embossing
Raised metallic detail you feel and see — a die stamps the foil and lifts it in the same pass, giving a logo tactile depth.
Spot UV + Matte
Glossy highlights that pop against a matte surface — spot UV coats selected detail so it reads sharper beside the matte finish.
Soft-Touch + Foil
A velvety base that makes metallic accents stand out — the soft-touch surface sets off a foil logo so it feels considered and premium.
Choosing a Finish by Your Goal
Start from what you want the label to do — shine, texture or protection — and the finish follows from there.
