Flat spot UV
Smooth, high-gloss varnish laid precisely to artwork. Perfect for contrast on soft-touch or matt-laminate base stocks — the wordmark catches light without needing plates.

DIGIJET·UV + Foil module
Premium finishes. Zero tooling.
We’ve moved embellishments off the traditional heavy-tooling lines and onto our digital inkjet module. That means you can pair gold foil with raised tactile varnish on the same pass, driven entirely by your PDF. No foil blocks, no waiting for die-makers, just high-end results delivered with digital agility.

Three capabilities · one module
Three embellishments, one digital pass.
The Digijet inkjet module applies flat UV, raised UV and digital foil inline — driven directly from your artwork file. Every label can be different. Every run is economical from 50 units up.
Raised spot UV.
Tactile, dimensional varnish you can feel under the finger. Layered ink builds up to 150 microns of relief — the physical luxury cue, printed digitally with no tooling required.
TactileUp to 150µmNo tooling
Digital foiling.
Metallic gold, silver and holographic foils applied via digital adhesive — no dies, no plates, no minimum run. Full-area or intricate detail, registered perfectly to the print.

Our free sample pack includes a dedicated Digijet card — the same artwork printed four ways, so you can feel the difference under your thumb before you commit to a run.
02 · Cutting capability
Laser die-cutting
Any shape. No tooling.
Traditional die-cutting needs a custom metal blade — around £100 per new shape, plus the wait for the cutter to arrive. Our ABG Digilase cuts directly from your artwork file: no waiting for a cutter, unlimited shapes, instant changes, micro-detail that steel rule can’t reach.

Spot UV
Spot UV
High-gloss varnish applied to precise areas — catches the light on brand marks and wordmarks.
Raised tactile varnish
Thick, raised clear varnish you can feel with a fingernail. Prints the luxury-tactile cue without tooling.
Soft touch laminate
Velvet-feel matt laminate. Luxurious, quiet, scuff-resistant. A brilliant base for spot UV and foil.
Sandpaper varnish
Coarse, grippy tactile varnish — a true sandpaper feel. Strong cue for industrial, tool-kit and craft-spirit brands.
Foiling
Hot or digital foil, registered to artwork — gold, silver, rose gold, copper and bespoke tones. Down to 4pt type.
Metallic
Metallised stocks and inks for full-surface shine without the foil cost. Pair with raised tactile for real weight.
Holographic
Iridescent rainbow shift — limited editions, seasonal drops, collectibles. Prints over the top in full colour.
Clear PP
Clear polypropylene for the "no-label" look. Waterproof, ice-bucket-ready, white-ink-compatible.
04 · Pairings
Finish pairings
Two finishes,
one unforgettable label.
Finishes fight if you pair them wrong and sing when you pair them right. Here's what the studio reaches for.
01
Gold foil + Raised tactile
The classic premium spirits stack. Foil lays first; raised clear varnish registers to the wordmark — light catches the raised edge and the metallic in tandem.
02
Soft-touch lam + Spot UV
Velvet background, wet-looking accent. The contrast is tactile and visual at once — the label feels like two materials in one.
03
Clear PP + White ink
The no-label look with controlled opacity. Print white where you want colour saturation; leave it off where you want the bottle to show through.
04
Natural paper + Hot foil
Unbleached, uncoated natural-fibre paper with a shot of metallic. Industrial meets luxury — reads as craft heritage rather than mass-market.
05
Peel & reveal + Tactile varnish
A "pull here" arrow that you can feel before you see. Brilliant for on-pack promos and multi-language copy.
06
Holographic + Digital CMYK
Full-colour artwork over holographic shift. The iridescence shows through in highlights — limited editions, event pieces, collectibles.

06 · Questions
Questions we get a lot
Before you
brief it in.
The short answers. If you've got a stranger question, the studio team is one email away — most replies come back same-day.
Can I combine multiple finishes on one label?
Yes. Most of our standout work pairs two or three — see the pairings above. The limit is practical: some finishes compete (gloss over gloss), some register better on specific stocks. We’ll flag conflicts at proof stage.
What’s the minimum order on embellished labels?
Same as anything else on our kit — 50 units. No plate charges, no foil block fees, no die costs. Digital finishes are the whole point.
Do embellishments add to the proof turnaround?
No. Proofing turnaround stays consistent regardless of finish count — we proof on the actual production kit, so what you hold is what ships.
How do I supply artwork for foil or spot UV?
Send us a separate spot-colour layer in your PDF named "Foil" or "SpotUV" — pre-flight happens the same day. We’ll send back a marked-up proof showing exactly where each finish lands.
Are your stocks FSC / recyclable?
Most of them, yes. Our full uncoated and recycled paper range is FSC-certified. Films (PP, PET) are recyclable where your local authority accepts PP/PET. We publish full spec sheets on request.
Can you help me choose the right finish?
That’s what the sample pack is for. Order one, we’ll include a short guide, and one of our label technicians will call if you want to talk it through. No upsell — we just want the right label to ship.
