AN EXCEPTIONALLY SOFT BOPP THERMAL LAMINATE THAT ACCEPTS OVERPRINTING.
Karess Printable Laminate 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 EVA adhesive layer, this laminate is compatible with HP® Indigo, water-based inkjet, and conventional offset and flexographic presses.
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.
