The UV-based metallic coating Mirafoil was applied partially before printing (sharp chess figures). This was followed – having printed – with the full-area use of a UV-based gloss varnish out of the coating unit. For an even stronger effect and to further emphasize the metallic shine of the chess pieces, we decided to apply a UV dull matt coating from the printing unit.

Our miniatures provide variety on the chessboard; Mirafoil creates metallic brilliance in the print motif. As a UV metallic coating, Mirafoil is perfectly suitable for use on glamorous folding boxes, labels and others. The product can be overprinted, but can also be applied after printing from the coating unit. It is a sustainable alternative to foil lamination or hot foil stamping.
