Karess® Laminate

A PREMIUM SOFT-TOUCH LAMINATE

Karess® Laminate is a specialty soft-touch laminate that makes print and packaging feel luxurious while giving designs a non-reflective matte finish. With its rich, velvety feel, Karess soft-touch laminate is ideal for all kinds of luxury applications. Create exceptionally soft and smooth folding cartons that are perfect for high-end beauty products and cosmetics. Give pocket folders and business cards a professional rose-petal softness that instantly makes an impression with the recipient. Karess Laminate can even be used to elevate pouches, bags, and sachets with an unforgettable soft-touch finish.
