Packaging Substrate - Satin and Gloss

Tuesday 16 November 2010

I wanted to try my packaging on other substrates to see what i would look like. The only problem is I can't physically print double sided on Satin or Gloss   at UNi, because it will take roughly a year for the ink to dry on the other side. And i would have to print double sided in order to get that black interior. 

It is also very expensive to print onto satin and gloss double sided if i were to do it in a mass produced way as it costs roughly £20 per sheet and for what i wanted to do it is way too expensive and i couldn't justify spending that amount.

GLOSS Vs. SATIN


Above are the examples of what i would want to print, and i do think they look a lot better than the matt print outs, that added shine just gives more the the colours and design work. I think if i were to print in one of these two stocks it would be the SATIN. This is because the gloss is way to bright, when the light shines on it you loose a lot of the message and information. Compared to the Satin where when the light hits it, it seems to dissipate and disperse across the substrate. So it does make it shine but you dont loose any of the vital information or the design work, and it just adds another level to the piece which is essentially what i wanted to do.
