Cosmo-films-2 — Cosmo Films' premium range of lamination films

Cosmo Films will be showcasing its range of premium lamination films and universal printable synthetic paper at the upcoming Pamex 2017 show that will be held in Mumbai from 18 to 21 December. On display will be velvet lamination films, the flagship product of Cosmo’s premium range. The films are engineered to lend a rich velvet finish to the printed surface. Engineered on a special matte base film, the film is ideal for rendering a premium finish to premium/luxury liquor, perfume, watches and jewelry packs/boxes. The film can also be used for laminating coffee-table books, high-end magazines, brochures, manuals, etc.

Another product on display will be black velvet lamination films, which offer an intense black color along with a velvet touch to the laminated paper/paperboard or package, thereby enhancing its aesthetics. It is also perfect for post lamination processes like spot UV, foil stamping, printing, etc. Besides luxury packaging applications, black velvet films are also suitable for high-end promotional material and stationery such as coffee-table books, magazines, brochures, manuals, posters, shopping bags, wedding cards, gift boxes, calendars, diaries, etc.

Scuff-free matte lamination films offer excellent resistance to scuff marks, which could develop during production, transportation and handling of the pack. The matte surface of the film is also ideal for post-lamination procedures such as UV spot coating, hot foil stamping, embossing, etc. Apart from the luxury packaging applications, the film is best suited for laminating packing boxes of electronic goods like mobile phones, tablets, power banks, etc.

Another solution from Cosmo Films that will be shown at Pamex 2017 will be digital lamination films. Regular thermal lamination films do not provide adequate bonding with digital printed surfaces containing high levels of fuser oil. The premium digital film has been specially engineered to provide excellent bonding to digital printed surfaces, along with offering excellent optics and protection. The film is available in both gloss and matte varieties.

Cosmo Films’ universal printable synthetic paper is a white opaque polypropylene-based film which resembles paper. The film is printable with most available printing technologies, including wet and UV offset, wet and UV flexo, letterpress, screen, thermal transfer and most of the digital toner technologies. It is a replacement of paper in applications where durability and longevity is desired. It is non-tearable, offers moisture and chemical resistance and excellent lay flatness. The product is available both in sheet and rolls format from 75 to 430 microns. It is suited for applications such as brochures, children’s books, posters, visiting cards, menu cards and labels, to name a few.

Apart from the premium range of lamination films, Cosmo will also be showcasing its standard lamination films at the event.

The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.

A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.

As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.

In an admittedly fragmented and textured terrain, this is the right time to plan your participation and marketing support communication – in our impactful and highly targeted business platform.
