Karess™ Printable Laminate with DigiBOND™

AN EXCEPTIONALLY SOFT BOPP THERMAL LAMINATE WITH AN ADHESIVE DESIGNED FOR DIGITALLY PRINTED PROJECTS. 

Karess Printable Laminate with DigiBOND is a velvety soft 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 printable topcoat makes it compatible with Sleeking® technology so printers can support a diverse range of value-add and customizable variable-data foiling effects.

Receptive to embossing, spot UV, die cutting, and most other post-laminate processes, Karess Printable Laminate is made of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP). Because it adheres to substrates using a thermally activated DigiBOND adhesive layer, this laminate is compatible with the following ink types: UV inkjet, dry toners, and toners with fuser.
