Finishes are where luxury is decided
Two boxes with the same structure can feel completely different depending on the finishes. This guide explains the premium finishes and how to use them well.
The premium finishes
Soft touch lamination gives a smooth, velvety feel that reads as high end. Foil stamping adds a reflective metallic accent in gold, silver, or custom colors. Embossing raises a logo or pattern, and debossing presses it in, both adding tactile dimension. Spot UV adds selective gloss for contrast, often over a matte or soft touch background. Windows and special die cuts can add another premium touch where appropriate.
How to use finishes well
Restraint is what separates luxury from busy. Use premium finishes on the elements that matter most, usually the logo and one or two accents, over a clean base such as soft touch matte. The contrast between a matte surface and a foil or spot UV accent is a classic luxury effect. Our designers help you combine finishes for maximum impact within budget.
