4 Coats To Take Your Label To The Next Level

4 Coats To Take Your Label To The Next Level

Looking for coats that can add some intrigue to your pressure sensitive label? These four options, either individually or combined with other techniques, supercharge your design. Just add imagination

4. Soft Touch Coat

Perrin Label by Great Lakes Label

If you’re looking to do some research on what soft coating feels like, we strongly recommend you try Perrin’s Lil’ Griz beer! This label is soft to the touch and has a matte finish. It’s simply luxurious to feel, adding sophistication to any label.

3. Grit Coat

Brewhouse beer - Great Lakes Label

A grit coat is the polar opposite of the soft coat. Used on the stem of the above fictitious brand’s pumpkin, grit coat has a soft, sandy texture that delights the senses. This coat is perfect for rougher, natural elements on your label like sandy beaches stems of produce and coats of fur on animal motifs, but don’t let that stop you from including this technique on other labeling elements!

2. Motion Coat

Brewhouse beer - Great Lakes Label

The motion coat can be seen in the backdrop of the above fictional label, The Brewhouse. This coating shines brightly as you tilt the label in and out of the light. It also provides the customer with some interesting texture to investigate which can be two crucial elements to having your product noticed, as well as picked up.

1. Tactile Screen

Meijer Coctail Peanuts label - Great Lakes Label

A tactile coat is a glossy, shiny coat which raises the image on your label. This is perfect for creating more realistic looking motifs and adding texture to your packaging.
