SmudgeProof™ Laminate

A SOFT, SMUDGE-RESISTANT LAMINATE

SmudgeProof™ Laminate ensures printed designs have no visible smudge marks even after repeated use, making it excellent for applications that will be handled frequently on store shelves or the consumer's home. Its durable surface has a velvety soft-touch haptic effect that forms an instant connection with customers to help drive sales. Low glare and non-reflective, this finish also protects ink from oil, dirt, and moisture. Protect high-end folding cartons from being marred by fingerprints and grease when shoppers pick them up in retail settings. Ensure menus at upscale restaurants look clean throughout service regardless of how many diners touch them. Give stand-up pouches, sachets, and other flexible packaging formats a luxuriously soft feel while ensuring designs stay clean after repeated handling. This laminate is receptive to spot UV, stamping, embossing, and a range of other value-add post-laminate processes.

SmudgeProof is part of the Nobelus® Endurance Collection.
