Soft Touch Finish
Soft Touch Finish for Premium Packaging
At Shubh Packaging, we offer soft touch finish packaging designed to give your boxes a premium look along with a rich, smooth feel. This finish is widely used in luxury packaging, especially for rigid boxes, mono cartons, cosmetic packaging, and high-end gift boxes, where both appearance and touch play an important role.
Apart from its elegant feel, soft touch finish is also known for its practical benefits. It performs especially well on solid color printed boxes like black, red, blue, and other deep shades, where maintaining a clean, scratch-free surface is important. The finish helps reduce visible marks, keeping the packaging looking fresh even after handling.
What is Soft Touch Finish?
Soft touch finish is a premium finishing technique used on custom paper boxes to create a smooth, soft, and velvety surface. The feel it provides is what truly sets it apart. When you touch it, it gives a sensation similar to fine velvet, soft suede, or chamois leather, making the packaging feel instantly more refined and high-end. Because of its premium nature and higher cost, soft touch is mostly used for luxury packaging boxes and high-quality paper bags.
One of the key advantages of soft touch finish is how well it works with other printing and decorative techniques. It can be beautifully combined with spot UV, gold or silver foil stamping, embossing, and debossing to enhance the overall design. These elements add contrast, shine, and texture, helping the packaging stand out visually while also improving the tactile experience. When used together, they create a rich, sophisticated look that elevates the overall presentation of your printed paper boxes.
Soft Touch Laminating
Soft touch laminating is the most practical way to achieve this finish. It combines the elegance of a matte surface with a soft, velvety texture, giving packaging a refined and modern look.
This process involves applying a thin layer of BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) film over the printed surface. This film is specially designed to provide a soft tactile feel while also protecting the print underneath.
What makes this method popular is its balance—it offers premium results without making the packaging excessively expensive. It also maintains consistency across different order sizes, which is important for brands scaling their packaging.
