SmudgeProof™ Laminate

A SOFT THERMAL LAMINATE WITH A SMUDGE-RESISTANT FINISH

SmudgeProof™ Laminate ensures printed designs have no visible smudge marks even after repeated use, making it excellent for applications such as book covers, pocket folders, board games, and trading cards. Its durable surface has a velvety haptic effect that helps form a connection with customers to drive sales. Low glare and non-reflective, this finish also protects ink from oil, dirt, and moisture. 

SmudgeProof Laminate measures 1.2 mil thick and is made of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP), which makes it compatible with thermal laminating systems that use bursting separation. Receptive to a range of post-laminate processes, this laminate can accept spot UV, embossing, die cutting, and more. 

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

SmudgeProof is part of the Nobelus® Endurance Collection.
