The easiest way to see matte lamination is to observe the way light reflects off of the surface.

Matte lamination reflects very little or almost no light at all leaving a very flat and burred look to the surface.

Matte lamination also feels almost soft to the touch making it an excellent option for packaging that intends to be a more interactive experience.

When looking at matte lamination on a sample or prototype, for example, it’s important to take note of the way the colors appear.

Matte lamination can flatten colors making them look a little more muted with a more shallow depth of color.

It’s often used for luxury packaging to portray a modern and sophisticated look and feel.
