PrintPack 2017: Cosmo Films to display lamination films

The premium range of lamination films comprises of the new improvised velvet, black velvet, scuff free matte and digital lamination films. The portfolio has been designed keeping the needs of luxury packaging and high-end graphic lamination industries in mind.

Synthetic paper is a non-tearable paper-like film, engineered as a solution to various marketing and printing industry needs.

The company’s product portfolio includes:

Velvet lamination films: The flagship product of the premium range, as the name indicates, is engineered to lend a rich velvet finish to the printed surface. Engineered on a special matte base film, this film is ideal for giving a premium finish to premium/luxury liquor, perfume, watches and jewellery packs/boxes. The film can also be used for laminating coffee table books, high-end magazines, brochures, manuals, etc.

Black velvet lamination films: The recently launched black velvet lamination films offer an intense black colour along with a velvet touch to the laminated paper/paperboard or package, thereby enhancing its aesthetics. It is also perfect for post lamination processes like spot UV, foil stamping, printing, etc.

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.

Scuff-free matte lamination films: Unlike a traditional matte film, this film provides excellent resistance to scuff marks which could develop during production, transportation and handling of the pack. The matte surface of the film is also ideal for post laminating procedures such as UV spot coating, hot foil stamping, embossing, etc. Apart from the luxury packaging applications mentioned earlier, this film is best suited for laminating packing boxes of electronic goods like mobile phones, tablets, power banks, etc.

Digital lamination films: Regular thermal lamination films do not give adequate bonding with digital printed surfaces containing high levels of fuser oil. The premium digital film has been specially engineered to provide excellent bonding to digital printed surfaces, along with providing excellent optics and protection. This film is available in both gloss and matte varieties.

Synthetic Paper: Synthetic paper is a paper-like plastic film with key features such as non-tearability, paper like appearance, moisture resistant, good lay flatness. The film is used as a replacement of paper in applications where non-tearability and weather resistance is desired.

Today, it is used primarily for printing visiting and ID cards, garment tags and marketing collaterals such as posters, banners, etc and stationary items where longevity is essential, such as maps, flip charts, and calendars. However, going forward all important documents for keeps such as medical reports, educational certificates and land documents and instruction manuals would start getting printed on synthetic paper. Another important emerging application of synthetic paper is children and recipe books.

Jeevan Kulkarni, head, domestic sales, Cosmo Films, said, “Being a critical member of the post-press industry, we look at PrintPack India as a very promising exhibition to engage with print and graphic arts industry. We look forward to this event to showcase our impressive range of print and lamination centric products.”

Cosmo will be at Hall 9/ E8.
