New Soft Touch Coating

New Soft Touch Coating available at MRP

/in

We are excited to announce our new Soft Touch Coating – an environmentally friendly alternative to soft touch laminate.

This coating is completely plastic-free, 100% recyclable, and cheaper than traditional laminates.

As customer demand for eco-friendly products continues to grow, we strive to stay ahead of the curve by testing new techniques and materials. Through our collaboration with board suppliers and coating manufacturers, we have found the perfect combination of board, coating, and technique that meets our high standards for quality and sustainability.

We have replaced laminate with this new coating on all of our in-house marketing materials and our customers are giving us great feedback on their products.

While lamination can provide protection from moisture and enhance the visual appeal of your printed items, it’s important to note that it has a negative impact on the environment. Lamination renders your boxes non-biodegradable and not entirely recyclable due to the use of a thin layer of plastic film.

We also offer high gloss and extra matt coatings as excellent alternatives to laminate.
