DataLase is proud to announce the launch of its innovative new range of colorless to white coatings designed for a wide array of packaging applications. This groundbreaking development utilizes biodegradable and sustainably sourced raw materials, aligning with the company's commitment to eco-friendly solutions.
The newly introduced coatings offer exceptional versatility and performance, providing highly contrasting white prints at flexographic and gravure coat weights. These coatings deliver remarkable print quality even on challenging substrates like 12-micron PET and shrink film. Moreover, the range includes pad printable coatings, enabling direct-to-shape marking of objects such as bottles, caps, and closures.
One key highlight of these coatings is their suitability for a diverse range of packaging formats, including folding cartons, flexible films, foils, pouches, and labels. They are designed to deliver high opacity, laser-sharp print quality, and QR code readability across a spectrum of lasers, including CO2, fiber, and UV.
