PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
The Finishing Touch That Makes Packaging Stand Out
The right coating changes how printed packaging looks, feels and performs in handling. A gloss varnish can enhance the visual depth of printed graphics while contributing to a smoother, more protective finish.
Besco develops water-based coatings for printing and packaging requirements. Its catalog highlights high-gloss and matte finishes, protective properties, abrasion resistance, anti-slip options, levelling and printability. The actual performance profile depends on the selected grade.
