Finishing styles
The EPUS company offers hang tags with a wide variety of finishing techniques:
Hang tags coated with transparent foil
Foiling is a kind of poligraphic lamination. This technique consists in coating entire print surface with transparent foil. Thanks to it label gains extra aesthetics, gets more reinforced and protected against external factors. This type of finishing is available as matt or gloss. Hang tags can be coated on one or both sides.
Hang tags with selective UV varnish
Spot UV varnish means coating of selected areas of a hang tag with glossy UV lacquer. Such technique creates the best visual effect when applied on matte-foiled hang tag. This way selected graphic elements of a label become more distiguished.
Hang tags with selective raised varnish
It is selective coating of label's elements with raised and glossy varnish. Such technique creates the best visual effect when applied on matte-foiled hang tags. Compared to UV varnish, hang tags with selected areas coated with raised varnish are both slightly convex and glossy which enables to emphasize selected graphic elements on a label.
Hang tags with embossing
Za pomocą techniki wytłaczania uzyskuje się efekt uwypuklenia wybranych elementów grafiki. Wytłaczanie to proces tworzenia trójwymiarowego wzoru w kartonie w celu uzyskania uwypuklenia nadrukowanych wcześniej elementów. Wytłoczone elementy można dodatkowo wybłyszczyć lakierem UV w celu jeszcze większej ich ekspozycji na etykiecie.
Hang tags with metallic foil stamping
Metallic foil applied on a hang tag using the hot stamping technique is a way of achieving mostly silver or golden coating on selected graphic elements of a label. Such hang tags are widely used in women's clothing where shining and avant-garde colours are predominant.
