Plastifcation

Plastification is a process that couples a printed substrate with a transparent, glossy or matte plastic film., scratch-resistant or soft touch. This process offers numerous advantages to the printed surface, including:

• Increased resistance to rubbing.
• Increased resistance to tearing and scratching.
• Increased resistance to bending.
• Increased water resistance.
• Increased durability of the printed matter.
• Makes the printed matter “velvety” to the touch in the case of soft touch lamination.
• Different visual rendering that makes the printed matter more valuable.
• Facilitates creasing and reduces the risk of cracking.
• You can choose between gloss, matte, scratch-resistant or soft touch and scratch-resistant lamination.

For a more eco-sustainable choice, you can use cellulose acetate as the material for the plastic film. Cellulose acetate is made from biodegradable organics, making it a more environmentally friendly choice for printed materials that require varnishing.
