How Print Finishing Multiplies Value
1. Perceived Luxury, Real Profit
Print finishing elevates your product. A RM0.20 business card can easily sell for RM1.00 or more with Spot UV and gold foil.
2. Low Additional Cost
Modern digital finishing machines allow short runs with minimal setup, so the ROI is massive.
3. High Customer Demand
Today’s clients want premium materials that match their brand image—wedding cards, product packaging, name cards, and more.
4. Better Margins, Less Volume
Sell less. Earn more. Add value to fewer jobs instead of chasing low-margin bulk orders.
