Uncoated
Keep a baseline body so you can identify the effect of adding a surface layer.

FICTIONAL CONCEPTThe final surface
changes the reading.
An uncoated direction, satin coating and gloss coating are separate requests. A finish name does not establish the chemistry or performance of a coating system.
Satin coating
Ask for a physical appearance reference and the proposed coating system.
Gloss coating
Inspect reflections, coverage and the appearance of print beneath the finish.
Schematic sheen studies / appearance and performance unverified
COATING RECORD
Specify the system behind the name.
| Record | Question |
|---|---|
| Substrate preparation | What material, cleaning or surface treatment is required for the proposed system? |
| Layer sequence | Does coating occur before or after the print and metallic detail? Which areas are masked? |
| Physical reference | Which sample defines the required sheen, feel and appearance? |
| Exposure and use | Which agreed conditions represent formula contact, handling, filling, assembly and storage? |
SAMPLE REVIEW
Review appearance and evidence separately.
01 /
Appearance
Record whether the layer changes base colour, ink contrast or metallic reflection. Compare to a blank body and a printed control.
02 /
Performance
A smooth or glossy appearance is not proof of adhesion or chemical compatibility. Identify the qualified test owner and method.
03 /
Version control
Tie the result to the actual substrate, coating system and decoration revision. A change to any layer requires a new review decision.
