| Finishing | Description | Products |
|---|---|---|
| Foil stamping | Foil stamping presses a metallic film onto the surface with a heated metal die so logos or text shine. The die shape becomes the foil shape, so foil stamping needs a vector file. | Packaging box |
| Epoxy coating | Epoxy coating places clear resin over the printed surface to form a raised, glossy surface. Epoxy coating suits flat or slightly curved surfaces, and small text too close to the edge may be hard to read. | Golf ball set |
| Gloss and matte coating | Gloss and matte coating adds shine or a calm matte texture to the printed surface and protects the print. Gloss and matte coating is mainly applied to stickers. | Holographic sticker, removable die-cut sticker, lenticular card |
| Rounded corners | Corner rounding cuts the four corners of a printed piece into curves. Rounded corners wear less and feel softer in the hand, and corner rounding can be combined with foil or coating. | Lenticular card |
| Hole punching | Hole punching makes a hole in the product so a ring or strap can be attached. | Dessert picks, straw picks |
| Overlock edging | Overlock edging wraps the fabric edge with stitched thread so the fabric does not fray. Overlock edging is used to finish mouse pad edges. | Full-color overlock natural rubber mouse pad |
| Nickel plating | Nickel plating coats the surface of metal products with a nickel layer to add shine and reduce corrosion. Nickel plating is applied to items such as pin badges. | Pin badge |
