PRINT IS NO LONGER THE FINISH LINE
We support the creation of new brands, rebrands, limited editions, and more with expert artworking, proofing and quality packaging mock-ups. Beyond providing proof of concept and manufacturing confidence, we help our clients elevate their creativity by exploring the possibilities of print.
Our disruptive approach is explorative, experimental and playful. Rather than relegating print to the end of a project, we provide our expertise and support throughout the creative process to achieve greater efficiency, dynamic collaboration and stronger creativity.
OUR SERVICES
COLOUR PROOFING
Verifying your design concept is an essential step that helps identify necessary changes for achieving optimal color accuracy and consistency in production. This process not only saves time and reduces costs but minimizes potential issues.
To facilitate this, we provide two litho press rooms, each equipped with private client areas. These rooms employ various methods in line with standard production to create proofs that can be faithfully replicated during production.
With our experienced proofers and advanced litho and silk screen machines, we ensure exceptionally high-quality prints. For all our colour work, we utilize a spectrometer to measure the colour of ink and paper before, during, and after the printing, guaranteeing that our colours remain consistent.
DIGITAL PRINTING
We have made significant investments in revolutionary digital printers that utilize a hexachrome color gamut, featuring a printing silver and white. This technology enables us to print on a wide variety of substrates, delivering exceptional quality results without limitations.
At Luminate, we take pride in our collaborative approach, allowing us to develop a hybrid system where all our digital proofs can incorporate embellishments such as varnishing, foiling, and emboss/debossing.
For clients facing budget constraints or needing first draft mock-ups, this offers an opportunity to achieve high-quality mock-ups without sacrificing quality or creativity.
FINISHING
Our Luminate finishing team is dedicated to transforming your ideas into reality with our diverse array of finishing solutions.
We offer options such as hot foil, cold foil, embossing, debossing, die cutting, CAD plot cutting, dry transfers, varnishes, and cast and cure techniques. Our varnishes come in a variety finishes, including pearlescent, iridescent, and different levels of gloss, matte, or high build.
Our technicians are readily available to assist you in determining the best approach for your design.
PACKAGING MOCK-UPS
Used in internal meetings, research sessions and advertising shoots, well-executed packaging mock-ups can make all the difference in a successful project launch. We are able to produce pretty much anything you can dream up - so dream big.
Our mock-up's range from creating cartons, CAD and structural development, heat sealing tubes and pouches, shrink sleeves and bottle dressing.
WE FOCUS ON EXPERIENCE

Whilst you’re in our house, you’ll have our full attention. Our goal is to keep you involved, informed and inspired by the possibilities of print.
