Karess® 1.2 mil Laminate

A LOW-GLARE, SOFT-TOUCH THERMAL LAMINATE

Karess® 1.2 mil laminate is designed to enhance the tactility of packaging and printed pieces with a soft-touch finish. Despite its non-reflective matte surface, it preserves the clarity of printed designs. It can provide a haptic element to business cards, folding cartons, pocket folders, and other types of applications. 

Receptive to spot UV, foil stamping, and other post-laminate processes, Karess 1.2 mil laminate is made of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP), which is compatible with bursting separation. Its thermally activated adhesive layer forms a strong bond with prints. 

This laminate is compatible with offset, flexographic, and HP® Indigo inks.

Karess is part of the Nobelus® Tactile Collection.
