Here are a few styles and finishes to enhance your finished product.

Spot UV

This lasting finish enhances color and shine while protecting the product from rough elements such as water or heat.

Foil

Like a bird spotting something shiny, let your print piece catch the eye of others. A little shine never hurt anybody, so why not add it to your next print piece? Our foil leaves cards looking professional, yet chic with metallic, ultra-glossy colors, shimmers or textures. Foiling is done by heating foil to adhere it to paper. Mesmerize your customers with a foil logo or design. Die-cut marketing collateral designed to have the "M" pop out when opened.

Die Cutting

Traditional square-cut printing is in the past. Businesses and designers are using die cutting more and more, knowing that rectangular shapes aren’t a requirement. Die cutting is a simple process of cutting the paper to give it a different shape. It can also cut letters or shapes inside the print piece itself. The sky is the limit when it comes to adding stylish and sleek cuts to your print pieces.

Coatings

Don’t restrict your creativity to a traditional style of product. Let your book, brochure or business card do all the talking for you. We offer UV and aqueous coatings that will give your paper a whole new feel to it, including soft-touch, gloss or satin coatings. Gloss coatings give printed pieces a durable and shiny look to it, whereas a satin coating is a matte finish that is also a water-based coating. Gloss or no gloss, another favorite type of coating is soft-touch. A soft-touch coating is applied to give a velvety soft texture. The paper becomes “soft,” increasing the tactile appeal and physical touch. A smooth, soft paper is better felt than read about in an article, so come into AlphaGraphics in Orem, UT today to choose your favorite. Don’t forget about UV coating that cures with ultra violet radiation to give you a high gloss look and a sturdy finish.
