Velvety Soft Feel Aqueous Lacquer

• Premium visual appearance: A soft, low-sheen surface that looks refined and understated, complementing premium artwork, typography and colour.
• Print protection: An overprint film that helps protect printed board from scuffing and handling wear during packing, transport and retail display.

• Consistent feel: Formulated to give an even soft-touch surface across the sheet and across a run, rather than a patchy or variable feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a velvety soft feel aqueous lacquer?

A velvety soft feel aqueous lacquer is a waterbased overprint coating that dries to a fine, soft film over printed board. The surface feels like velvet or suede to the touch, looks like a premium low-sheen matt finish, and protects the print beneath from handling wear.

How is soft touch different from matt?

Matt describes appearance: a flat, non-reflective surface. Soft touch describes feel: a velvety, tactile surface. A soft-touch coating usually looks matt, but its defining quality is how it feels when handled, and it should be judged by touch as well as by sight.

What is velvet touch used for?

Cosmetic and skincare cartons, fragrance sleeves, premium food and electronics packaging, book covers, catalogues, presentation folders and luxury marketing material — any pack or cover where touch is part of the premium experience.

Will it wear off with handling?

A well-formulated soft-touch lacquer applied at the recommended weight is designed to survive normal handling, packing, transport and retail display.
