Cheshire Anilox develops new engraving for high-build Tactile varnish.
A more recent flexo enhancement is the effect of tactile coatings. These coatings provide a two-dimensional feel to the package without the use of embossing or expensive tooling. This application has traditionally been done with the use of a rotary screen unit. The new engraving is specially designed to reproduce the tactile effect of rotary screen on to the print or packaging. Tactile varnish will require a high volume anilox that will transfer large amounts of coating. This ground-breaking engraving technology offers the highest release of lacquers and varnishes available in Flexo printing. Its unique cell profile also offers a more uniform coverage which is critical to achieve a high gloss finish.
The new engraving has been extensively tested in close cooperation with leading printers and converters worldwide and the results achieved have been extraordinary.
