Clarifoil has responded by offering a thermal version of its Semitone film, widely used in conventional lamination processes to give enhanced effects and resistance to scuffing on products such as cosmetics cartons, financial reports and point of sale literature.
The company's introduction of the thermal option compatible with thermal machines also brings the enhanced effects into play for use on short run items such as restaurant menus, exhibition guides and concert programmes.
Functional attributes of the film also include compatibility with foil blocking and a 'dry to touch' surface finish.
The cellulose base of the film makes it compatible with paper and board for production, waste management and recycling purposes.
Clarifoil business development manager, David Aldridge said: "Qualities of touch and appearance are both known to strongly influence consumers in the beauty and luxury goods market.
The same distinctive benefits can now be applied to products which can be thermally laminated on small in-house machines".
