Lamination: is the technique of manufacturing a material in multiple layers, so that the composite material achieves improved strength, stability, sound insulation, appearance or other properties from the use of differing materials. A laminate is usually permanently assembled by heat, pressure, welding, or adhesives.
Varnish: Varnish is essentially ink without pigment/colour. It is applied as another ink colour on the press.
UV Varnishing: Refers to surface treatments which either are cured by ultraviolet radiation, or protect the underlying material from its harmful effects.
