Orange Peel - Textured Varnishes

Customer is asking for an "Orange Peel" varnish. In my 30 yrs I have never seen any textured varnishes at all. Is there an Aqueous Coating? I know I have seen UV Coating that was textured.

Help if you can.

Thanx,

look for large experienced screen printers specialized in varnishes, or UV-specialists,
yes, orange peel varnish exists, but very rare
I know here in Belgium just one printer.
 
i recently came across a print that has on it a silk matte varnish, i think this is what you're looking for, it appeared to look like an orange peel... contact a varnish supplier and ask them to send you samples of a silk matte...
 
We have Silk/Matte/Dull Varnishes, but they have no rippled/texture effect like an orange peel. I have only seen a screen method using UV coatings that make a textured effect before.
 
There is a velvet looking aqua coating that goes on in line - I've seen it but we don't have an inline coater so haven't investigated it . . . .
 
Our company does textured varnishes, UV screen. Depending on the effect the customer wants we usually apply with a rotary screen 20 micron. There are different additives that you can to get the different effects.
