Waterbased High Gloss Overprint Coating

Waterbased high gloss overprint coating is a strong, bright aqueous gloss finish for packaging that needs more impact than a standard gloss, without going to the maximum level of an ultra-high-gloss.

Key Features

• Strong, bright gloss: A high-gloss film that is noticeably brighter and more reflective than standard gloss, for packs that need to stand out.
• Deep colour and contrast: A smooth, reflective surface that makes colours look deeper and artwork look sharper on cartons and labels.
• Print protection: A durable film that helps resist scuffing, handling marks and moisture during packing, transport and retail display.
• Production-friendly: Water-based formulation for in-line and off-line coating at commercial speeds, more forgiving in production than ultra-high-gloss.
• Carton and label versatility: Suitable for folding cartons, labels and general packaging work on paper, board and coated board.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a waterbased high gloss overprint coating?

A waterbased high gloss overprint coating is a water-based lacquer applied over printed packaging to give a strong, bright, highly reflective gloss finish, deeper-looking colours and print protection.

How is high-gloss different from standard gloss and ultra-high-gloss?

Standard gloss gives a bright, clean finish; high-gloss gives a stronger, more reflective finish; ultra-high-gloss gives maximum reflectivity for luxury packs. High-gloss is the practical premium choice for commercial packaging that needs strong impact without ultra-high-gloss production demands.

Is this the same as the two-sided high gloss lacquer?

No. This page covers a general high gloss overprint coating for cartons and labels. The next page covers a two sided aqueous high gloss lacquer for work coated on both sides, which has different application and drying requirements.

Can high gloss coatings be applied in-line?

Yes. High gloss aqueous grades are made for in-line and off-line coating units, subject to application weight, drying and substrate considerations. Triwill Group can advise on suitability for a given line.
