Sun Chemical has collaborated with Sappi North America to create a companion piece for its award-winning “Innovative Solutions” book for brand owners and converters.
 
The companion piece features 10 printed sample pages utilizing Sun Chemical UV inks and coatings and combines it with Sappi’s high quality coated printing paper. It is available for brand owners and converters at both the Sun Chemical and Sappi booths during PACK EXPO.
 
“Our collaboration with Sappi has allowed Sun Chemical to create a unique piece that helps converters and brand owners create innovative solutions for packaging to stand out on shelf,” said Heather Buchholz, marketing program manager, Sun Chemical. “Sappi’s premier paper is the perfect medium on which to showcase the capabilities of our inks and coatings.”
 
Highlights from the companion piece include a variety of options for satin, matte and gloss printing, in addition to Sun Chemical’s SunInspire sensory coatings line, which offer special effects that allow a customers’ product packaging to stand out on store shelves visually through high luster metallic, fluorescent, glitter, pearlescent, as well as iridescent finishes. SunInspire tactile coatings, ranging from coarse and gritty to soft and smooth, are also featured.
 
“Sappi North America has been using coatings from Sun Chemical on some of our most impactful print pieces,” said Patti Groh, marketing communications director, Sappi North America. “Paper is a highly effective and sustainable medium, which excels at making lasting impressions for brands, especially with the use of special effects. Using techniques like soft touch, unique aromas, and sandy feel all create impact and allow brands to stand out from the crowd.”
