FineGrit™ Laminate

A GRITTY ROUGH-TOUCH LAMINATE 

FineGrit™ Laminate is a rugged laminate that gives printed pieces the feel of fine-grain sandpaper. Its rough-touch appeal offers brands a contrast with popular soft-touch trends in general commercial print to help brands target different demographics and markets. Highly scuff resistant, its stippled, gritty surface is cured and has no loose particles that can be rubbed off, making it perfect for any application that will be reused or handled frequently. Add FineGrit to folding cartons to create unforgettable tactile packaging that instantly stands out when picked up in a retail store. Apply it to business cards to convey toughness and grit to prospective clients. Ensure board game pieces do not scuff or scratch despite years of repeated use. This laminate can even be used to elevate digitally printed stand-up pouches, stick packs, and other types of flexible packaging. With FineGrit, the print enhancement possibilities are nearly endless. 

FineGrit is part of the Nobelus® Tactile Collection.
