Frequently Asked Questions
What are special effect UV coatings?
Special effect UV coatings are specialist UV coatings that create distinctive tactile and visual effects beyond standard gloss or matte — including glitter, sand texture, high build relief, and drip-off matte/gloss contrast. They make print and packaging stand out with premium finishing.
What special effect coatings does TriWill supply?
TriWill Group supplies high build screen coating (TWGU6550), glitter effect coating (TWGU8000), drip-off primer (TWGU7000), and sand effect coating (TWGU6500).
What is drip-off coating?
Drip-off coating (using a primer like TWGU7000) creates a contrast between matte and gloss areas. A matte primer is printed in selected areas, then a gloss coating is applied that “drips off” the matte areas but stays glossy elsewhere, creating a striking matte/gloss contrast effect.
What is high build coating?
High build coating (such as TWGU6550) is applied through a screen to create a raised, tactile relief effect on the printed surface. It adds a three-dimensional feel to selected areas for a distinctive premium effect.
Do special effect coatings require UV curing?
Yes. All TriWill special effect UV coatings are UV-curable and require a UV curing system. Contact TriWill Group for guidance on application and curing for each effect.
