The novel use of special effect coatings and lamination on packaging gives brand managers the opportunity to create a product marketing advantage. By incorporating these specialty options, designers generate an eye-popping, customer-attracting difference on the shelf, feeding impulse purchasing decisions.
UV soft touch varnish and lamination – as exemplified in this month’s calendar – create a subtle, velvety texture that adds richness and sophistication to printed pieces. When incorporated into packaging, these innovative techniques allow the substrate to gain distinction with its matte appearance, become soft to the touch and immediately elicit an inquisitive response from consumers due to their unique tactile properties and unexpected feel.
UV Soft Touch Coating:
* Increases the engagement with consumers due to its tactile sensation.
* Creates a barrier which is fingerprint resistant and protects the material from scuff marks.
* Supports environmentally-friendly initiatives – zero VOC content and can be easily recycled.
Premium Laminate Finish:
* Protects artwork and printed ink
* Provides scuff resistance
* Offers vivid color tonality and superb clarity
* Adds rich allure and tactile dimension
* Exudes an expensive, luxurious feel
* Enhances printed packaging with a variety of available finishes – e.g. leather, linen, etc.

Fluorescent inks and materials offer fresh, bright alternatives for designers and brand owners to create inspiring projects and packages. They are the ideal tools for product differentiation and building your brand identity and recognition. Available in a multitude of colors and options, Gintzler International, a Resource Label Group Co., can provide packaging with stunning shelf appeal that is as versatile as it is functional.
Besides prime labeling, fluorescent inks and materials are often used to attract the consumer’s eye for promotions and direct mail campaigns. By incorporating these bold colors, the packaging is specifically designed to demand attention and tap into the customer’s impulse with immediate shelf impact. Visual colors are critical in signaling emotion in consumers and calling them to action.
Fluorescent packaging can also effectively communicate important data such as inventory levels, safety warnings, and “use by or expiration” dates. This provides consumers with confidence in the product they are purchasing, in addition to improving supply chain visibility, waste reduction, and freshness labeling.

The novel use of special effect coatings on packaging gives brand managers the opportunity to create a product marketing advantage. By incorporating specialty coatings, designers generate an eye-popping, customer-attracting difference on the shelf, feeding impulse purchasing decisions. In this month’s calendar, for instance, we’re highlighting UV soft touch coating and tactile varnish.
UV soft touch coating creates a subtle, velvety texture that adds richness and sophistication to printed pieces. When incorporated into packaging, this innovative technique allows the substrate to gain distinction with its matte appearance, become soft to the touch and immediately elicit an inquisitive response from consumers due to its unique tactile properties and unexpected feel.
In addition, the raised tactile UV varnish coating adds depth and texture, giving a dimensional and realistic feel to the image.
Gintzler International can provide innovative packaging solutions that incorporate various effects and coatings for all market applications. Contact a Gintzler Packaging Specialist today at sales@gintzler.com for assistance in adding distinction to your next packaging project.
Whether it’s a metallic shine, the sheen of a pearlized finish or the sparkle of a hologram, a touch of something special can add so much – attracting customer attention faster and retaining that attention longer.
One of the most effective ways to stand out and get noticed is with a high-visibility enhancement like foil. With a dazzling range of sparkle and shine, holographic foils add visual impact to any design. From subtle glitter effects to dramatic shapes and styles, the plethora of patterns available create a prismatic dimension of depth and space on a variety of substrates, helping any brand or product step into the spotlight.
During the cold foil process, a UV-curable adhesive is printed on the substrate in the shape of the design that is to be foiled. The foil is then pressed onto the material and is stripped away where no adhesive was printed. After a quick run under the UV light, the product is finished.
Cold foils are used to enhance visual appeal in a wide range of consumer goods and markets, helping clients communicate brand values with authenticity and originality. Applications include health and beauty, food and beverage, and consumer goods. Contact Gintzler International, a Resource Label Group Co., at sales@gintzler.com for more information.

Temperature indicating inks offer an innovative solution to long-term security and safety industry challenges. When exposed to extreme cold or heat, these specialty inks reveal color and messaging to prevent fraud, deter theft, and promote safety.
This functional technology proves beneficial in both the medical and pharmaceutical and food and beverage industries. Unlike other product offerings that return to their original state when removed from climate variations, the color changes made to these tamper evident inks are irreversible. These specialty inks help to prevent cold and heat tampering, an issue that is becoming more prevalent.
In addition, many products lose integrity or even become unsafe when exposed to extreme cold or heat. These innovative inks can provide a persisting indicator if an item has been submitted to extreme temperatures during shipment, thawed during transport, or exceeded its upper temperature threshold. The technology helps to minimize waste and offers a clear, visible indication if a product’s quality has been compromised.
This month, we’re highlighting these unique inks on our February calendars. When exposed to temperatures above 149° F, the text above the latte changes from gray to red. When exposed to temperatures below 14° F, the writing above the cold brew changes from white to blue.
For more information on these specialty inks, as well as other innovative packaging solutions, contact a Gintzler Sales Consultant at sales@gintzler.com.

With a dazzling range of sparkle and shine, holographic foils add visual impact to any design. From subtle glitter effects to dramatic shapes and styles, the plethora of patterns available create a prismatic dimension of depth and space on a variety of substrates, helping any brand or product step into the spotlight.
Coatings also play a vital role in the modern production of packaging and printing, offering both functional and fun qualities. They protect the printed image and ensure trouble-free processing. They provide high-end finishing characteristics and may add valuable properties to the package, such as barrier effects or heat-resistance. They can add depth, dimensionality, and texture and can transform the consumer purchasing experience by appealing to multiple senses.
Over the years, innovations in specialty coatings have been developed which can help designers give tangible, tactile properties to their printed pieces. These specialty effect coatings continue to gain popularity as brand owners attempt to distinguish their products from others on store shelves. In this month’s calendar, for instance, we tinted the tactile varnish to add a touch of something special.
Cold foils are used to enhance visual appeal in a wide range of consumer goods and markets, helping clients communicate brand values with authenticity and originality.

It is becoming more difficult to tell genuine products from fake ones, which jeopardizes public brand perceptions. Manufacturers lose billions of dollars each year to goods that are counterfeit, interfered with, or diverted in the supply chain. All economic sectors are affected, from consumer goods to electronics, wines and spirits to industrial spare parts.
Microtext printing is one of many anti-counterfeiting techniques used to authenticate labels and product packaging. It involves printing text that is so small it is unreadable with the naked eye, only visible under magnification. Microtext is very difficult to replicate or copy without using advanced detection equipment.
Words, phrases, sequential numbers, part numbers and more can be printed in one or multiple locations on a label to prevent replication. Microtext characters can be inserted into overt images, text and other design elements without the consumer being aware of them. Counterfeiters do not have the capability to reproduce microtext and will simply copy the visible elements. However, a handheld magnifying glass can tell an examiner whether a product is authentic.
While food and drug manufacturers carry the highest risk, other industries have benefited from implementing features into their packaging to help combat shoplifting, return-fraud, unauthorized repacking of used components in brand name packaging, and even consumers wanting to sample products before purchasing. With single or multi-layered security features that are customized to meet our clients' specific needs, Gintzler helps to ensure your brand's compliance with applicable regulatory standards while aggressively deterring fraudulent activity. Protect your product and your brand with proven techniques. Email sales@gintzler.com.

Glow-in-the Dark Inks are a great way to create unique packaging and capture the attention of consumers! Whether you use it to design eye-catching holiday packages, include hidden messages, or add an element of surprise for a special promotion, glow-in-the-dark inks can transform your custom packaging into a fun and interactive experience.

Cast and Cure technology is a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly inline printing process that produces high-gloss, holographic effects through the use of UV coatings and specialty films.
While Cast and Cure is an excellent option for adding visual impact to packaging, this decorative coating process can also be customized with security and anti-counterfeiting features to protect brand identity.
Cast and Cure enhances the intensity of your printed piece while delivering sustainable benefits. By using UV inks and varnishes, there are no harmful VOCs emitted into the environment. In addition, casting film makes packages more recyclable by eliminating the laminated metalized films used in traditional holographic substrates. Casting films are also able to be reused several times, thereby reducing the carbon footprint.
If you are looking for a high-impact, sustainable printing solution for your packaging application, contact a Gintzler Representative today at sales@gintzler.com.
Dissolvable labels offer a viable solution to end users seeking a temporary label product that is environmentally friendly. Rinsing away in seconds when exposed to water, the labels are easily and economically removed from substrates.
The benefits of this technology are many. The labels provide the necessary performance and durability while in use, as well as the ease of removal when products need to be washed or reused. They help to reduce labor costs since workers no longer need to spend valuable time scraping labels off containers. Water soluble labels also assist in preventing cross-contamination between containers, important in both the food service and healthcare industries.
Other applications of dissolvable labels include date coding food service trays; temporarily identifying returnable containers, and marking water toys, sports equipment and watercraft.
Dissolvable labels offer great potential for new and innovative applications. Contact Gintzler International, a Resource Label Group Co., at sales@gintzler.com for more information.
Sunlight activated inks, or photochromic inks, change color dramatically when exposed to ultra violet light. When in the sun or UV light, the colors come to life. When taken back indoors, or out of the light source, the color disappears.
Great for novelty applications and consumer interaction within the food and beverage industry, brand owners often incorporate photochromic inks into their packaging to encourage consumers to go outside and share their experiences with family and friends. This technology is also used as a UV warning device for consumer goods. For instance, caution is necessary when sunbathing or when spending extended periods of time outside. By including photochromic inks in the package design, the UV sensitive meter darkens as the sun’s UV rays become more intense – perfect for summer promotions.
In addition to promotional uses, photochromic inks offer strong security features and reliability. Since the effects of the ink are reversible, the ink is suitable for anti-counterfeiting products and in applications where brand security is critical – such as vouchers, tickets, certificates, etc. Email sales@gintzler.com for more information.

Piggyback labels are multi-layer constructions featuring one self-adhesive label on top of another. The top label is removable and can be reapplied elsewhere, while the bottom label is stationary, remaining affixed to the original surface. Dynamic and versatile, piggyback labels can be created in constructions that adhere to paper, plastics, cardboard and metals. Top labels can be smaller than bottom labels for fast and easy removal, or they can be the same size – with or without tabs for detachment.
In addition to being used as promotional tool, piggyback labels can include barcodes to simplify and expedite tracking, provide an added level of security for traceability, and support chain-of-custody initiatives. They can contain duplicate information to facilitate data accuracy, allowing the transfer of information from one item to another. Moreover, piggyback labels can save money and increase productivity by speeding up overall processing, rotating stock, identifying potential issues, simplifying kitting, and keeping production lines moving.
Also known as two-layer and double-layer labels, piggybacks are perfect for:
* Inventory tracking
* Medical records
* Pharmaceutical identification
* IV tubing labels
Contact a Gintzler International representative at sales@gintzler.com to discuss how piggyback labels can help streamline your processes and increase productivity.
Extended Content Labels, commonly referred to as ECLs, are a great way to expand the real estate of your label without having to enlarge your product’s packaging.
These resealable booklet constructions, comprised of a pressure sensitive label with a folded or multipanel outsert, are available in a number of different sizes and formats to suit virtually all product applications.
In addition to providing extra space for descriptive information, ECLs are the perfect solution for communicating:
Our April calendar features an ECL with an enclosed decal sheet. Simply peel and apply the stickers provided to track weather and moon phases for the month.

Screen printing is ideal for wherever a high degree of coverage, precise detail, and color intensity are desired to obtain a brilliant, superior-quality image. Glitter is an example of a screen printing application, whereby large glitter particles are added into UV gloss coating. Glitter can provide enhanced visual appeal to printed packaging by allowing designers to create unique, specialized effects with various colors, shapes, and dimensions.
Glitter glamorizes your products and commands attention on store shelves, thereby optimizing your margin of profit and increasing sales turnover. While glitter rotary screen may be utilized in a variety of markets, the high-sparkle effect of glitter is often incorporated into beverage and health and beauty packaging designs to keep product lines fresh, modern, and eye-catching.
If you are looking for a stunning new look to add decorative value to your product, consider glitter rotary screen for your next design project. Our packaging specialists are ready to guide and assist you! Contact us at sales@gintzler.com for a consultation today.
In order to differentiate your brand from all others on store shelves, packaging must be meticulously designed and printed to convey the same level of excellence as the product within it.

Specialty coatings are just that – special. They can perform a multitude of functions for a package or its contents – from protection to jazzing it up, providing enhanced value in form, function, or both.
Textured clears, for example, give the appearance and feel of a rough surface and provide a unique, “foaming” effect. Used in conjunction with gloss clears, this coating can provide both visual and tactile contrast between different areas of an image. As print strives to become increasingly more interactive, textured clears enable a low color-contrast subject matter to stand out from the background.

When it comes to branding and packaging, color is a critical design component. Colors are often used to trigger sensory reactions and emotions and to prompt consumers to make assessments about brands. Colors can stimulate, excite, depress, tranquilize, increase appetite and create a feeling of warmth or coolness. As such, color psychology is a key concept to consider when creating a brand identity and incorporating color into product package designs.
There are no absolute, concrete parameters for choosing a brand’s colors and packaging color scheme. Brand owners shoot instead to capture a subtle feeling, mood, and brand image, because this has the ultimate power of persuasion. The right color palette can establish brand differentiation, help attract new customers, increase brand recognition, and influence attitudes towards certain products.
Because the first point of interaction with a buyer is shaped by color, and color is the most memorable sense, the colors chosen for product packaging have the potential to make or break a sale. Although perception of color is subjective – both culturally and individually – color must support the brand’s personality and messaging. Consider the following:
Remember, a unique color palette, distinctive graphics and well-defined brand identity work synergistically. If consistently maintained, your brand has the potential to become iconic. Contact a Packaging Specialist at Gintzler today at sales@gintzler.com to help guide you through the selection of colors and other design elements.
In the meantime, take a few moments for relaxation! The popularity of coloring for adults has exploded in recent years. A pastime once considered little more than a novelty can help you relax, reduce stress and boost mental clarity.
Let Gintzler help you enjoy the many benefits of coloring:
Special effect films offer product designers, marketers and manufacturers a whole new array of choices when it comes to developing memorable and distinctive packaging. They are available in a wide range of effects, from soft and subtle, achieved by emphasizing muted transmission colors, to vibrant and eye-catching, using intense reflection colors.
These special effect films offer an extensive color pallet to work from when used in combination with different background colors and materials. For instance, decorative and glitter iridescent films can be used alone or with other films, graphics, background colors or embossing to achieve eye-catching effects. The films can be laminated to any standard label stock and can be under-printed and/or overprinted. With this flexibility, the combinations of effects are limited only by the designer’s imagination.
Gintzler International can supply packaging utilizing a wide range of iridescent films to meet your desired look and style. For more information, email sales@gintzler.com today.
Coatings play a vital role in the modern production of packaging and printing, offering both functional and fun qualities. They protect the printed image and ensure trouble-free processing. They provide high-end finishing characteristics and may add valuable properties to the package, such as barrier effects or heat-resistance. They can add depth, dimensionality, and texture and can transform the consumer purchasing experience by appealing to multiple senses.
Over the years, innovations in specialty coatings have been developed which can help designers give tangible, tactile properties to their printed pieces. These specialty effect coatings continue to gain popularity as brand owners attempt to distinguish their products from others on store shelves.
Gintzler International can provide innovative packaging solutions that incorporate various effects and coatings for all market applications. This month’s calendar, for instance, features tactile varnish. This raised UV coating gives a dimensional and realistic feel to images, as demonstrated on the water droplets.

Hot stamp foil delivers a luxuriously rich, raised look. Very fine lines and text can be incorporated into packaging designs, in many different colors and patterns.
To achieve this high end look, a die of the design to be foiled is mounted above the substrate and is then heated. The hot stamp foil, a metalized PET film with a heat activated adhesive, runs between the die and substrate. When pressure is applied from the die onto the material, the foil is fixed to the substrate’s surface. Because pressure is a main ingredient to hot foiling, the foil has dimension and a distinct feel.
Contact a Gintzler representative today for more information on hot foil stamping.

Cast and Cure technology is a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly inline printing process that produces high-gloss, holographic effects through the use of UV coatings and specialty films.
While Cast and Cure is an excellent option for adding visual impact to packaging, this decorative coating process can also be customized with security and anti-counterfeiting features to protect brand identity.
Cast and Cure enhances the intensity of your printed piece while delivering sustainable benefits. By using UV inks and varnishes, there are no harmful VOCs emitted into the environment. In addition, casting film makes packages more recyclable by eliminating the laminated metalized films used in traditional holographic substrates. Casting films are also able to be reused several times, thereby reducing the carbon footprint.

Besides providing a protective layer to inks and substrates, varnish treatments are a great way to decorate packages, deliver precise clarity, offer outstanding flexibility, and set your product apart from others on store shelves.
Varnishes may be gloss or matte, flood or spot coated to add contrast, depth, and texture to packaging designs. Whether the goal is a subdued matte finish or a high gloss shine, incredible effects can be achieved using this technique.
Multiple decorative spot varnishes can also be combined to create a package that is both unique and attention grabbing. For instance, when both gloss and matte finishes are incorporated into the same printed piece, designers can maximize the visual contrast between areas and create a great impact on the appearance of the product packaging.
