What Is UV Coating?

UV Coating is a clear protective finish applied over a printed surface and cured instantly with ultraviolet light. It adds durability by improving resistance to scuffs, fingerprints, and moisture, while also enhancing the appearance of printed graphics with a smoother feel and a more vibrant look.

UV coating is used on packaging, labels, and printed materials when you want extra protection and a polished presentation. It can be applied as a full-coverage coating for overall protection and sheen, or selectively as spot UV when you want certain elements to stand out.
