Custom Soft Touch Boxes
Pressholic provides customizable boxes with a soft touch lamination finish. Soft touch lamination is used for a wide variety of paper products including luxury rigid paper boxes, gift paper boxes, cosmetic paper boxes, and printed paper boxes. Aside from its superior scuff-resistance, it is also commonly used for large-area solid-color printing like RBG, CMYK, and PMS. It is quite cost-effective to do soft touch laminating because the soft touch finish can be applied both to small order quantities and to large order quantities—and the unit cost won’t change a lot depending on the order quantity.

The need for soft touch
Below are some of the advantages of soft touch lamination:
