Coatings

GlossKote High Gloss

Unqualified success in keeping costs down while producing super gloss and excellent rub and scuff resistance. Ideal for magazines, paperbacks, brochures, annual reports, telephone book covers, directories or anywhere an eye catching glossy front cover is required. It’s a liquid coating so the substrate needs to have sufficient hold out for the gloss coating to stand on top and be effective. Brings the concept of gloss within reach for the high volume, cost conscious market place.

GlossKote Glueable

A high gloss coating with enhanced glueability. Combining gloss with improved processing & finishing of display cartons, DVD and CD covers or any other form of packaging.

PatternKote

Distinctive way to apply a high gloss coating to select areas on a printed sheet. Used extensively on packaging where glue flaps are left free. Also on brochures and magazines where panels can be left free of coating to maximise name, date or code stamping. Different to SpotKote in that this coating is usually applied to most of the sheet thereby leaving only a small part uncoated.

SatinKote

A Matt liquid coating which gives a soft, satin matt finish to book covers, magazines, brochures, annual reports etc. Can be applied as either an all-over coating or as a pattern coating where you want to balance matt with an uncoated section of the printed sheet.

PearlKote

A pearlescent finish which is available in a variety of colours. Used mainly in packaging but can also be used for magazines, book covers etc where a pearl finish is required for added effect. Can be an all-over coating or to a desired pattern.

GreaseKote

An efficient economic barrier coating which gives effective grease and oil resistence for carton packaging. Successfully used on both container and lid for frozen foods, pet food, pizza cartons, cakes, sweets, ice cream, soap powders. Approved for food contact.

HeatKote

Absolutely vital together with the right board and inks for blister/bubble packaging. Hang-sell is so much part of marketing these days... batteries, housewares, adhesives, shaving blades, pens, car parts, hardware. But remember to seal a product within a bubble to a printed card you need HeatKote and the right inks and board.

AquaKote

A coating designed to give good scuff resistence and gloss levels which are superior to a machine varnish, at an economical cost factor. Quite often, the answer to printing problems like wet or soft inks.
