UV Coating Benefits
UV Coating — Instant-Cure High-Gloss Protection for Maximum Shine and Durability
UV coating is a liquid varnish cured instantly by ultraviolet light, creating a hard, high-gloss surface that is more durable than aqueous coating and faster to produce than film lamination. The UV curing process — typically under 1 second — allows high-speed production without drying time, making UV coating an efficient choice for large-volume packaging programs requiring premium protection.
Flood UV coating covers the entire packaging surface uniformly. Spot UV targets selected design elements for contrast effects. Both versions produce a harder surface than aqueous coating and a comparable surface to gloss film lamination, with the production efficiency advantage of instant cure time.
UV vs Aqueous vs Lamination
UV coating occupies the middle ground between aqueous coating and film lamination. More protective and glossier than aqueous, but less durable and moisture-resistant than film lamination. Faster and more cost-effective than lamination, but using UV-cured chemistry rather than water-based systems. For brands needing premium protection and gloss without film lamination cost, UV coating is the optimal choice.
Flood UV for Full-Surface Protection
Flood UV coating covers the entire box surface uniformly, providing consistent protection and gloss across all printed panels. It is the workhorse finish for high-volume consumer goods, food packaging, and retail boxes requiring reliable protection at moderate cost.

UV Coating in Broomfield — FAQs
Is UV coating food-safe?
UV coatings for food packaging applications use photoinitiator formulations that are safe for indirect food contact. We specify food-safe UV coating grades for all food packaging applications and provide compliance documentation.
Can UV coating be applied over metallic inks?
Yes. UV coating over metallic inks enhances their reflectivity and protects against tarnishing. The UV overcoat also improves the durability of metallic inks which are otherwise susceptible to abrasion.
What is the difference between flood UV and spot UV?
Flood UV covers the entire surface uniformly. Spot UV is selectively applied to defined areas to create contrast effects against a matte background.
Is UV coating environmentally sustainable?
UV coatings use photoinitiators and reactive monomers that are not water-based. They are more challenging to recycle than aqueous coatings. For sustainability-focused brands, aqueous coating is the preferred alternative.
