01
What it is
Answer — Engine Summary
Volume varnish (also called tactile varnish, relief varnish or silk screening) is a finishing technique that applies a raised, transparent or coloured varnish to specific areas of a label, creating a three-dimensional tactile texture that adds depth and a premium feel.
02
What it is
Volume varnish builds a raised layer of varnish on selected parts of your label, giving those areas a distinct, tactile relief. It is also known as tactile varnish, relief varnish or silk-screening.
Because it can be applied selectively, it draws the eye and the fingertips to exactly the elements you want to emphasise — a logo, an illustration, droplets, lettering or a textured background — elevating the design from ordinary to extraordinary.
