One of the major advantages of switching to metallized paper is that it can be used with a wide variety of conventional inks, print methods and machinery. This means little to no disruption to existing processes as well as reduced outlay.

Metallized papers are manufactured in silver color and can be printed with coloured inks to provide maximal design flexibility. Glossiness levels can be fine-tuned using varying levels of opaque white ink under colours. But before any printing takes place, our team works with clients and their partners to ensure the papers they receive are compatible with their processes. In order to ensure universal printability, primer is applied to papers following metallization, and some print methods require specific coatings in order to enhance ink performance. 

Whatever your print method is, metallized paper guarantees a beautiful shiny finish and eye-catching, glossy good looks! Get in touch to find out more.
