Extra Protection: Labels with Protective Varnish
Protective varnish primarily protects your label from colour abrasion and increases its durability. Whether matt or glossy, we have the ideal solution for your high-quality labels that deserve extra protection! We generally recommend a protective finish as an add-on. Interested in protective varnish for your labels? The following points will help you decide:
Protective varnish emphasises the high quality of your product and provides extra protection. Select the appropriate parameters such as size, material and protective varnish in the online calculator. Then specify further order details and finally upload the print data.
How Does Protective Varnish Work?
After your custom labels have been printed, they are coated with a protective varnish in a final step. A clear, liquid varnish is applied to the surface of your sheet labels or roll labels, which is then dried using a UV lamp. This seals the top surface and protects it from colour abrasion.
label.co.uk offers protective varnish in glossy or matt. We recommend matt protective varnish for matt materials and glossy varnish for glossy papers or films. This preserves the appearance of the material.

Comparison: Labels with Protective Varnish – and without!
What can protective varnish really do? We put it to the test! The sample label on the left shows no protective varnish and has severe scratch marks. In comparison, the sample label on the right with protective varnish is resistant to irritation and has an even surface. Our extreme test proves that protective varnish can be worthwhile for labels.
Customised labels reflect or emphasise the quality of your products. This high quality should be maintained for as long as possible. That is why we recommend using protective finishes, such as protective varnish.
On request, we will put together a customised sample folder so that you can see for yourself. Feel free to contact us by phone on 0203 588 1080 or by email at info@label.co.uk.
Labels with Protective Varnish or Film Lamination?
Your label deserves extra protection! You can choose between protective varnish and film lamination.
As an alternative to our protective varnish, which protects against simple abrasion, we offer matt or glossy film lamination, which protects against more severe abrasion and makes your labels more robust. When applying the film lamination, a liquid adhesive is first put on the high-quality labels. Pressure and UV light are then used to bond the film to the label thanks to the adhesive. We particularly recommend film lamination for products in the cosmetics or chemical industries.
If your products are packaged in such a way that they rub against each other, for example, or if you want 100% protection against colour abrasion, then we definitely recommend film lamination. To test the finishes, we offer our Premium proof print. This allows you to ensure that the end result meets your expectations.
Protective Varnish: Flexible Application
Another advantage of protective varnish over film lamination is its flexibility in combination with other finishes. While protective varnish is compatible with all materials and our decorative finishes such as blind embossing or relief embossing, film lamination is not suitable for these types of embossing, for example.
Tip: Labels with varnish are suitable for subsequent printing in a thermal transfer printer.
