Frequently Asked Questions
What is reverse UV printing?
Reverse UV pairs matte and gloss varnishes so a pattern appears only as light hits it — an elegant, subtle texture effect without extra colour.
Where does reverse UV look best?
It shines on dark or solid-colour labels for spirits, cosmetics and premium packaging, adding a tactile pattern that feels sophisticated and understated.
Can I combine reverse UV with other finishes?
Yes, it layers well with foil, embossing and metallic inks to add depth without overwhelming the design.
