Re*Flect Finesse

A hot-stamping master. This best-in-class hot-stamping is incredibly thin, yet delivers the highest glossy finish in a variety of colours. Despite its delicate nature, this solution is durable and long-lasting. Re*Flect Finesse also offers the possibility to apply anti-counterfeit features with special holographic effects.

Re*Flect Charm

This cold transfer effect fascinates with the inline application of eye-catching finishing effects. A large variety of colours via inline overprinting is available, including gold and silver to best represent our customer’s brands.

Re*Flect Allure

The Trans-Met solution that is just as radiant as MET-PET, providing a metallic sheen that is darable and eye-catching. When choosing Re*Flect Radiance for already existing designs previously realised with MET-PET, the artwork and process can be reutilised without any changes.

Re*Flect Radiance

A varnish that attracts with a gentle, slightly milky metallic effect that doesn’t mirror and offers a slightly mysterious effect. Perfect for those who want a unique and sophisticated finish.

Sustainability Benefits

Recyclability

Re*Flect offers high quality options where the direct application of plastic foil onto the cartonboard packaging is not necessary. The metallic pigments can be transferred to the board without leaving a plastic layer, which then highly facilitates its recycling.

Sortability

Certain countries (such as France) use infrared systems for sorting waste. Packages that are fully varnished with MET-PET don’t always get recongnised as cartonboard, meaning that they can’t enter the recycling stream. Re*Flect offers non-full-surface applications that the IR-systems have no trouble identifying as cartonboard .

Best-in-Class

Both Re*Flect Finesse and Re*Flect Charm can be called best in class with a CEPI recyclability rating of >80.

Splitting Hairs

The metallic pigment that is transferred onto the cartonboard when using Re*Flect Finesse or Re*Flect Charm is between 0,02 µm, making it >80 times thinner than a human hair. The reduced amount of non-fibrous material that is added to the board further improves the recycling stream and also saves on material costs.
