Video Brochure Printing: Custom Covers & Premium Finishes
The printed cover is what creates the first impression of a video brochure — before the recipient ever presses play. Color accuracy, finish, and surface quality all shape how premium (or how ordinary) the product feels in someone’s hands.
CheerTrend handles printing, finishing, LCD assembly, and quality control in-house at our Shenzhen factory, as part of our factory-direct video brochure manufacturing process — so the printed cover and the final product are inspected as one item rather than as separate parts.
This page covers what we print, what finishes are available, and how we control quality before shipment.

CMYK Printing
CMYK printing is the standard for most video brochure covers. It reproduces logos, product photography, and marketing graphics with strong detail and color depth, and works well across most corporate, real estate, and promotional projects.
Pantone Color Matching
For brands where exact color consistency matters — corporate identity, luxury packaging, product launches — Pantone matching keeps the printed cover aligned with existing brand materials rather than approximating the color through CMYK alone.
Custom Sizes
While standard formats cover most projects, cover dimensions can be adjusted to fit a different LCD module or structural requirement.

Premium Finishing Options
The finish is often what separates a video brochure that feels like a standard printed piece from one that feels like a premium presentation product.
✓ Matte lamination
✓ Gloss lamination
✓ Soft-touch lamination
✓ Foil stamping
✓ Spot UV coating
✓ Embossing and debossing
Matte Lamination
A smooth, low-reflection finish with a clean corporate feel. It resists fingerprints well and is the most commonly chosen finish for real estate presentations, corporate introductions, and general business communication pieces — a practical balance of premium appearance and durability.
Gloss Lamination
A brighter, higher-contrast finish that makes product photography and marketing graphics look more vivid. Often selected for product launches and consumer-facing promotional campaigns where visual impact matters more than a subdued look.
Soft-Touch Lamination
A smooth, tactile coating that feels distinctly more premium than standard lamination. Common for executive presentations, luxury product introductions, and high-end corporate gifts, where the physical feel of the cover is part of the impression.
Foil Stamping
Adds metallic elements — gold, silver, or other custom colors — to logos, brand names, or key text. Foil works especially well over a matte background, where the contrast between the flat surface and the metallic highlight draws attention to the branding.
Spot UV
Applies a glossy coating to selected areas only — a logo, a line of text, a decorative pattern — while the rest of the cover stays matte. This creates a refined contrast without affecting the whole surface.
Embossing and Debossing
Embossing raises the design above the cover surface; debossing presses it in, creating a recessed effect often used with leather-texture covers for a more minimal, luxury look. Both add physical depth that a flat printed logo can’t achieve on its own.
Finishing Combinations
Premium projects typically combine two or three techniques rather than relying on a single finish. Some common pairings:
- Matte + Gold Foil — an elegant, corporate or luxury appearance
- Matte + Spot UV — highlights a logo or key design element without adding metallic elements
- Soft-Touch + Embossed Logo — a fully tactile premium experience
- Matte + Gold Foil + Spot UV + Embossing — a multi-layer approach used on higher-end presentation products
For any project combining multiple finishing techniques, we recommend confirming the effect on a physical sample before committing to a full production run — the way foil, UV, and embossing interact is easier to judge by hand than on screen.
These combinations are commonly used for executive presentations, luxury product launches, and premium corporate marketing materials.
Quality Control
Premium finishes only look premium if they’re applied consistently. Before shipment, we check color accuracy, foil alignment, UV positioning, embossing effect, and overall cover quality — as part of the same inspection as the LCD and electronic assembly, not a separate step.
Frequently Asked Questions
Full-color CMYK printing is standard for most video brochure covers. Pantone color matching is available for projects that need closer brand color consistency.
Yes. Pantone matching is commonly used for corporate identity projects, luxury packaging, and campaigns where the printed cover needs to align closely with existing brand materials.
Matte lamination, gloss lamination, soft-touch lamination, foil stamping, spot UV, and embossing/debossing. These can be used individually or combined, depending on the look you’re going for.
Yes — you can provide your own artwork for printing. For templates, file formats, and layout requirements, see our Video Brochure Design Guide.
Matte reduces reflection and gives a clean, professional look with good fingerprint resistance — it’s the more common choice for business and real estate materials. Gloss creates a brighter, higher-contrast surface that makes photography and color graphics pop, and is more often used for product launches and consumer promotions.
