Karess® Laminate

Karess is a 1.5 mil polypropylene (OPP) velvety soft thermal laminate. This low haze laminate maintains a vivid color clarity that surpasses most matte laminates on the market. Karess provides a luxurious finish and creates a unique tactile experience.

Karess Laminate is durable and scuff-resistant and protects as well as enhances premium prints. This soft touch, ultra-matte laminate accepts foil stamping, spot UV, and die-cutting, which makes it a perfect fit for high-end packaging.

Compatible with offset, flexographic and HP Indigo® digital printing technologies. For digital print engines utilizing UV inkjet or electrophotography (toner-based inks and fuser oils), visit Karess Printable Laminate with DigiBOND™.
