Karess® Laminate

A PREMIUM, VELVETY SOFT BOPP MATTE LAMINATE BOASTING EXCELLENT CLARITY.

Karess Laminate is a soft-touch specialty laminate that is specifically designed to enhance the haptic appeal of packaging and printed pieces. This premium laminate provides an ultra-matte effect without affecting the clarity or tonality of designs. Its luxurious feel is ideal for positioning with high-end brands that need folding cartons, pocket folders, business cards, and more.

Receptive to foil stamping, spot UV, die cutting, and most other post-laminate processes, Karess Laminate is made of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) and measures 1.5 mil thick. Because it adheres to substrates using a thermally activated EVA adhesive layer, this laminate is compatible with HP® Indigo, water-based inkjet, and conventional offset and flexographic presses.

Compatible with offset, flexographic, and HP® Indigo digital printing technologies

For UV inkjet or digital print engines utilizing electrophotography (toner-based inks and fuser oils), visit Karess Printable Laminate with DigiBOND™.

Karess is part of the Nobelus® Tactile Collection.
