KDX, a world leader in the manufacture of advanced polymer materials including Thermal Laminating Films, BOPP Wet Films and 3D Lenticular solutions, has seen a big increase in customers using its premium AllStick (Digital) Laminating Film range as digital printing increases to grow in demand.
KDX’s AllStick Digital BOPP thermal films in Gloss, Matt, and new for 2018, Silky Matt and Anti-Scuff digital films, have been specially engineered to provide superior adhesion performance on digitally printed outputs.
According to Michel Diruy, General Manager KDX Europe Bv, this increase in popularity is due to AllStick’s superior quality and competitive pricing “Compared to ordinary BOPP thermal film, the peel strength is far superior, and it has a better grasping ink effect. AllStick adhesive is manufactured to create a chemical bond that enables lamination within 1hr after printing, reducing down-time, and increasing customer confidence by surpassing some of the best known digital products on the UK market in terms of quality.”
KDX has now developed a 27micron version of their standard AllStick Digital 35 micron film along with an AllStick Digital Silky Matt, and Digital Anti-Scuff laminating film to resolve the issue of scuffing and handling marks/damage associated with traditional matt laminating films. An extra added benefit of the scuff resistant coating is the luxurious feel and a perceived increase in product value which the end user experiences. This new range of AllStick Digital films give the growing digital printers a complete portfolio of films to use and work with.
KDX’s AllStick Digital films work extremely well with Digital presses from all the main printer manufactures including Xerox, Ricoh, Fuji, Konica Minolta, Canon and Hewlett-Packard and is especially well suited to printers that use an imaging process that requires fuser oil. They are ideal for Book Covers, Postcards, Mailers, Flyers, Inserts, and any other digital prints requiring post print enhancement.
