Jet Technologies has launched the latest innovation in textured matte film, Rough Touch, which features a rough, gritty feel and is aimed at the luxury printing and packaging markets.

Just released, Jet says the versatile Rough Touch thermal matte film 'provides a completely new touch and feel that further meets consumer demands for luxury looks and sensations in products'.

“The new sandy film is the biggest variation in film to hit the market since the hugely popular Soft Touch film, which offers an ultra-matte silky feel laminate,” says Jack Malki, director, Jet Technologies.

“We expect that the Rough Touch film will follow in the footsteps of Soft Touch and prove highly popular amongst our customers who specialise in luxury printing and packaging.

“We see Rough Touch being a really good fit for curious industries looking for a gritty feel - anything from building and beach to coffee and culture.”

According to Jet Technologies the Rough Touch provides a high-quality matte finish with enhanced colour and is applied in the same way as any other conventional film. Importantly, it offers extra protection for printed jobs through avoiding scuffing and curling.

The film is also compatible with a range of finishes such as spot UV or hot stamping, and is able to be glued and printed on by traditional offset with oxidative inks (specifically for non-porous materials), offset UV and screen printing.

Jet Technologies is a specialist supplier to the food packaging, industrial manufacturing, print and finishing industries.

Food & Drink Business

Western Australian producer, Brownes Dairy, has been put up for sale according to the Australian Financial Review (AFR), as one of its biggest lenders, China Mengniu Dairy, calls in its $200 million loan. A reduced demand for milk in China and the current positioning of the global market could be driving the decision.

The Central Coast is about to receive a boost to its local food and beverage manufacturing industry, with construction starting on the $17.14 million Food Manufacturing Innovation Hub, funded by the federal government’s National Reconstruction Fund (NFR).

The Australian Industry Group (Ai Group) says Australia is at a “critical crossroads” when it comes to R&D and decades of rhetoric have not delivered material change.
