Patented UltraLustre and Selective UltraLustre: Unifoil Corporation is proud to introduce a newly developed and patented product line called UltraLustre. UltraLustre is an extension of the highly successful UniLustre non-laminated metallized board and paper product. UltraLustre expands Unifoil’s’ non-laminated capabilities beyond metallized and holographically decorated paperboard substrates to many types of plastics, including both flexible and rigid. This process has many advantages over current laminated structures, UltraLustre can be applied selectively; this ‘selective’ metallizing process is patented and is exclusive to Unifoil. Some benefits are: •Security - High Refraction Image (HRI), Hidden Image (H/I) and Pin Strip Security are several items that can be incorporated to insure security and authenticity. UltraLustre can be applied selectively. •Eye Catching Brilliance- no film layer to see through and is a first generation embossing. •Glueability- Selective UltraLustre adhesive to pull fiber, bond strength. •Source Reduction- no film on package, Unifoil reuses the film. •Gauge & Weight Efficiency- the absence of film virtually eliminates the film weight, allows for better yields for your printers, also shipping cost should be reduced. •Excellent Dead Fold- metallized board scores, folds and embosses better than film, without the tendency to curl or metal particles to flake off. •Non-Laminated- paperboard is balanced and eliminates the possibility of delamination. •Recyclable & Repulpable- vapor deposition of aluminum is practically insignificant (see attached chart). •Reduction of Ink- Stripe metallization eliminates most of the white ink, which is sometimes double bumped for coverage. •Curl Free- Non-Laminated, balanced sheet. Unifoil’s process does not utilize heat or re-moisturizing, which affects the original fiber structure and relative humidity of the paperboard material that causes imbalance (curl). •Cost- Lower cost alternative to Hot-Stamping and some metallied applications, increased printing speeds compared to foil or film laminates. **Major benefit - End uses on plastic.
