Don’t forget to considerate other factors when printing folders

Why should I consider coating my presentation folders?

The two most common reasons for adding a coating over your folders are for protection and aesthetic reasons. Coatings are applied to protect printed folders from exposure to moisture, extreme temperatures, scuffs, scratches and frequent handling. They are also applied to draw the eyes to particular elements; to add depth and interest to your printed piece.

Typically UV coatings and film lamination, often available from outside vendors, require additional time for drying of ink before coating and curing after coating. Typically aqueous and overprint varnish, often handled within the plant, do not require any extra lead time.

You will often find different manufacturers have different coating preferences and opinions as it relates to folder design. Typically these are based on in-house equipment availability, operator experience, and personal aesthetic preferences. While all  press coatings mentioned have advantages and disadvantage, there are situations where each shine.
