Question
Is gloss lamination the same as UV coating?
Answer
No, they are two different things. UV coating is a liquid cured with ultraviolet light, while gloss lamination is a physical film bonded to the paper. Lamination is thicker and offers more all-around protection.
| Gloss lamination | UV coating | |
|---|---|---|
| Form | Bonded film | Liquid, UV-cured |
| Thickness | Thicker, more rigid | Thin surface layer |
| Protection | Better against bending and moisture | Good scuff resistance |
