Question
Will aqueous coating protect my prints during mailing?
Answer
Yes, for the wear that mailing puts on a piece. Aqueous coating adds a thin protective layer that resists the scuffing and friction of postal sorting and handling, so postcards and direct mail arrive looking cleaner than uncoated pieces.
- Protects against: scuffs, friction, and fingerprints during sorting and delivery.
- Result: sharper color and a more professional look on arrival.
- Does not protect against: water damage from rain or moisture exposure.
For weatherproofing, a UV or laminate coating gives more moisture resistance than aqueous.
