Kernow Coatings Strategic European Partnership with Ecofoil Range of Metalized Digital Foil Board Certified Plastic Free and 100% Recyclable

Kernow Coatings, United Kingdom–Kernow Coatings, a global leader in OEM-certified printable digital synthetic materials, launches their latest product range in Europe.

With more than 40 years of experience developing high-quality synthetics for the digital print market, Kernow Coatings now announce their exclusive distribution partnership with Ecofoil across Europe.

Ecofoil is an interesting new range of digital metalized foil board substrate that makes high end luxury print and packaging more affordable and more sustainable than before, a competitive and sustainable alternative to traditional metalized polyester foil boards (MetPol) and metalized applications. It offers all creative benefits of metalized polyester boards with the USPs of being certified plastic free and 100% recyclable.

Ecofoil is a true foil-board substrate rather than a selective foil embellishment that has been specifically developed and certified for Dry Toner and HP Indigo printers, removing the limitations in the amount, size, complexity, or number of foil colours that can now be created in a single pass.

Ecofoil is 100% recyclable, FSC certified, significantly more scratch resistant than all its competitors and compatible with all post-press processes like folding, bookbinding, embossing, debossing, foiling, UV varnishing and laminating.

Ecofoil allows customers to create foil embellishment in-line using their existing digital press and without the need for any additional capex investment.

Ecofoil is the only sustainable and commercially viable foil board range ideal perfect for all types of cartonboard packaging or graphics projects such as point of sale displays, product packaging, beer and wine labels, brochures, catalogues and magazines covers, cards, announcements, and crafts.

Ecofoil has OEM media certification for: Ricoh 7200, Heidelberg Versafire, Xerox Iridesse, Fuji Revoria, HP Indigo – Series 3 & 4 (One Shot)
