Paper

Glossiness
Glossy laminated papers have a high gloss and vibrant colors, making them an excellent choice for bright, eye-catching labels.
Matte
In contrast, matte laminates are more likely to increase color opacity and therefore produce softer colors, so if you are branding a premium feel, then matte laminates may be the choice for you.
Metallic
Metallic surfaces are shiny and reflective, which can cause light to be scattered or reflected in different directions, thus affecting color output.
