UV Coating
UV coating is a type of coating used on the printed sheet to protect against damage caused by sunlight, moisture, heat, and scratches. It is applied to surfaces using a special process that involves exposing the cardboard sheet to high-energy rays. The rays penetrate the material and cause chemical reactions that bond molecules together. This creates a protective layer that prevents the underlying printed design from being damaged and gives shine.
