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
| UV type | Folding |
|---|---|
| Silk / matte UV | Handles repeated folding well |
| Gloss UV | Can crack on the fold |
