Cosmo Films, a global leader in
speciality films for flexible packaging, lamination and labeling applications
as well as synthetic paper has recently added two new products to its synthetic
paper portfolio. One of the products is a digitally printable synthetic paper
and other one is a high tear resistant synthetic paper.
The product launched for
commercial digital printing can print with both powder toner based laser
printers as well as liquid toner based printers. Laser printing is a newly
introduced feature for the digital product and has been added keeping the huge
potential of photo-album & coffee table book printing segment in mind. It
is printable with almost any production printer-HP Indigo, Xerox, Konica
Minolta, Ricoh, Canon to name a few.
Apart from laser printing, the product can
undergo any printing process be it conventional & UV offset printing/UV
& water based flexographic printing/thermal transfer printing/screen
&letterpress printing/ UV inkjet printing or HP indigo & HP Latex
printing. Brilliant whiteness of the
product makes it appear very similar to paper and helps produce excellent print
quality and true colour output.
High Tear Resistant Synthetic Paper has been engineered to be
non-tearable, displaying excellent tear resistance and has been designed
specifically for tag applications. It is printable on both sides by UV offset,
water & UV Flexo, and thermal transfer printing processes. Some of the
typical tag applications include garment hang tags, horticulture identification
tags, tree tags, cattle identification tags and airport transfer tags.
Speaking on the development, Mr.
Kapil Anand- Global Head for Speciality Labels & Industrial Films at the
company said “We have a diversified portfolio of products under the Synthetic
Paper category which currently find applications in retail & packaging,
commercial printing, tags & labeling, and identification & credentials.
Having said that, we are continuously working to fill in the market need gaps
and also expand share of the pie. With these two new additions; we now cover
the entire spectrum of print technologies and also offer a robust product with
high tear resistance”
