Karess® Printable Laminate

A SOFT-TOUCH LAMINATE THAT ACCEPTS OVERPRINTING

Karess® Printable Laminate is a velvety soft specialty laminate that enhances the haptic appeal of packaging and prints. 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.

Suitable for bursting separation, Karess Printable Laminate is made of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) and measures 1.4 mil thick. It accepts a wide range of post-laminate processes, from die cutting and gluing to stamping and spot UV. Due to its EVA adhesive layer, this laminate is compatible with thermal laminating systems.

This laminate is compatible with offset, flexographic, and HP® Indigo inks.

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

Karess is part of the Nobelus® Tactile Collection.
