Should I use Matte or Gloss Lamination?
Both matte and gloss lamination provide added protection to your projects. Laminating services can take your San Diego business to the next level, and determining whether you need matte or gloss finish can make the difference between whether you are spreading the right message or not. Read the pros and cons to help you determine which one will give the finished look you want.
*The image below illustrates the difference between MATTE and GLOSS.
It all comes down to personal preference and what you are trying to achieve when choosing between matte and gloss for your laminating services in San Diego. Matte lamination provides a sophisticated high-class look. Gloss lamination will get attention with brighter colors and a more visible shine.
MATTE LAMINATION
Pros:
- A subtle, tactile effect that oozes quality with a sophisticated look.
- Sophisticated and classy look without the shiny.
- Matte lamination can produce lower contrast on darker colors, resulting in an overall softer look.
- It does not reflect light.
Cons:
- Less reflective finish can lessen the intensity of color, producing a more “washed-out” or muted palette.
- Does not provide the same level of protection as gloss lamination, prone to scratching and fingerprints.
- Colors look lighter.
GLOSS LAMINATION
Pros:
- Glossy and reflective allows it to grab attention that implies a richer product.
- Visually stunning, deeper, cleaner and crisper lines and gives color vibrancy.
- Repels dust, dirt, and fingerprints – easy to clean.
- Reflects light and shouts for attention.
Cons:
- Reflective nature makes it harder to see in a room with bright light sources.
- Imperfections catch light and draw attention. (scuff, scratches, indents)
- Colors look darker.
