Solid colours like blue, red, and black are tricky to handle, especially when used in the background for offset printing. These background colours also take longer to dry, leading to increased lead time for print delivery. Therefore, off-set printers usually avoid using these as background colours. However, graphic art designers prefer using black background because of the impact it generates with foiling and other post lamination operations and more so in case of luxury packaging.
Cosmo Films has launched BOPP based Black Velvet lamination films which offer an intense black colour along with a velvet touch to the laminated paper/paperboard or package, thereby enhancing its aesthetics. It is also suitable for post lamination processes like spot UV, foil stamping, printing etc.
The films are available for both thermal and wet lamination in 32 and 21 microns respectively and are glueable, stampable and printable in nature. Apart from giving a superior velvet matte finish to the laminated surface, the films also offer excellent scuff resistance. Besides luxury packaging applications, black velvet films are also suitable for high end promotional material and stationery such as coffee table books, magazines, brochures, manuals, posters, shopping bags, wedding cards, gift boxes, calendars, diaries etc.
S. Satish, global head- sales &marketing said, “The launch of black velvet lamination films has added a new dimension to our range of premium lamination films and the exciting fact is that this development can be replicated in other colours as well.”
