FAQ Section

Q1: How is the texture created with UV varnish?

A : The texture is achieved by using screen printing or high-build coating plates that control the thickness and pattern of the varnish. Coarser meshes or thicker applications produce more pronounced effects.

Q2: Can the texture level be customized?

A : Yes, the texture can be fine-tuned by adjusting the coating weight, printing plate, screen mesh, or application method. StarColor can also assist with formulation matching for specific tactile requirements.

Q3: Is the textured UV varnish safe for food packaging?

A : It can be used on the non-food-contact side of packaging and complies with ROHS and REACH standards. For indirect food packaging, always consult regulatory requirements.
