Question

Can I order a folded item with a UV coating finish?

Answer

Yes, a UV coating works on scored and folded pieces, as long as you choose the right type of UV for folding.

  • Silk or matte UV is best for folds: the non-glare finish resists cracking along the score line
  • High-gloss UV can crack on a tight fold, so it suits flat pieces better
  • Score before folding so the coating flexes cleanly
  • A good fit for folded brochures, folded cards, and menus
