Take inspiration from the world around you.
The vibrancy of a peacock, the reflection of a lake, the shimmer of a fish’s scale.
Unilustre®: fully recyclable and fully repulpable.
👁️🗨️ Eye Catching Brilliance – with no film layer to see through – it is a first-generation embossing.
🚨 Security – High Refraction Image (HRI), Hidden Image (H/I) and Pin Strip
⚖️ Gauge & Weight Efficiency – the absence of film eliminates film weight, allowing better yields for printers and shipping cost reduction.
♻️ Recyclability & Regrindability – the proprietary vapour deposition of aluminium is practically insignificant so the substrate is not contaminated.
🎨 Reduction of Ink – selective application of Unilustre® to the substrate eliminates most of the white ink, which is sometimes double-bumped for coverage.
🔬Glueability – selective Unilustre® adhesive to pull fiber and bond strength.
🌎 Source Reduction – the absence of laminated film means larger yields per carton and roll.
📃 Excellent Dead Fold – metallized board scores, folds and embosses better than film, without the tendency to curl or metal particles to flake off.
🪭 Non-Laminated – paperboard is balanced and eliminates the possibility of delamination eliminates labels and direct printing.
🌱 Curl Free – with a non-laminated balanced sheet, the process does not utilize heat or re-moisturizing, which could cause imbalance (curl).
Unilustre® is a lower-cost alternative to hot-stamping and some metallized applications, and promises increased printing speeds compared to foil or film laminates.
