Unique 3D Effects Without Dies or Screens – Premium Effects for Everyone
If you want to capture a customer’s attention at first glance and stand out from the competition, 3D varnish and digital embossing without dies or screens are the perfect solution. Thanks to MGI technology, we can create a luxurious effect that elevates your labels or packaging without any investment into tooling, screens, or embossing plates.
How MGI Technology Works
MGI is a global leader in digital embellishment. Instead of traditional screen printing or embossing with dies, it uses:
• special nozzles that apply varnish or foil according to the artwork,
• variable varnish height or embossing (3D effect),
• the ability to work with variable data—every single piece can have a different design, code, or visual element.
This eliminates the need to create dies and removes design limitations.
Where Can 3D Varnish and 3D Embossing Be Used?
The applications are broad, but most commonly requested by brands that want their packaging to deliver a premium experience:
🍷 Alcoholic beverages
Whisky, rum, gin—luxury labels highlight quality and a premium brand image.
🍾 Exclusive wines
For premium or gift wines, the first impression matters. An impressive label can be the reason a customer chooses your bottle.
🍺 Craft beers
Every beer has a story. 3D effects can highlight the logo, product name, and design elements to create a collectible feel.
🥫 Premium foods
High-quality ingredients deserve high-quality packaging—and luxury labels appeal to demanding customers.
💄 Cosmetics & beauty products
The feeling of exclusivity begins with the packaging—3D varnish enhances elegance and value.
Forget Design Limitations
With traditional methods, you need a die or screen for every design—leading to higher costs and fewer possibilities.
With MGI technology, you can have:
• a unique design for each wine variety or product variant,
• different varnish or embossing elements on every single piece,
• no investment into dies (typically around €100) or screens (€120–140).
And best of all—the printing cost remains comparable to traditional 3D varnish and embossing.
