Sustainable Benefits

Liquid Metal™ and MiraFoil® enhance the printed surface while providing more sustainable benefits:

  • Economical, in-line alternative to film and foil laminates, which are difficult to recycle at best
  • Eliminates issues associated with off-line lamination or foil stamping, including additional transportation, warehousing, and lead times

  • Environmentally friendly:
    1. Reduces converting steps, thus saving time, minimizing costs, and conserving energy
    2. Coatings are fully recyclable* through the de-inking process, a commercially-used technology.
    3. Metallic effects can be spot applied. As a result, most printing process waste (e.g., trim, make ready) is easily recycled into bleached paperboard, which is a significant advantage over laminates.
