Ultrawhite Board
A high-whiteness, fade-resistant stock can be an alternative to more-expensive European substrates. The PermaWhite laminated material is available in satin, matte, or glossy finishes. Benefits of using PermaWhite include its nonyellowing characteristics; the material was exposed for 96 hours in an accelerated-weathering tester and showed no visible sign of fading. The stock was chosen by Remede Laboratoire for its Purifying Intensive Creme. Arkay Packaging Corp., Hauppauge, NY.
Specialty Paper
Papers and boards in a variety of surfaces are available. Options include embossing, metallic and pearlized finishes, high-gloss surfaces, and mica-coated paper with a pearlescent sheen. The Fine Paper Collection features stock surfaces that are coated for durability. A gloss varnish protects the coated surfaces and resists fingerprints. The papers have good scoring and folding characteristics and are suitable for standard printing. CTI Paper USA Inc., Sun Prairie, WI.
Color-Matching System
A supplier of folding cartons offers its customers a proprietary color-matching system that can simulate approximately 600 different Pantone Matching System colors while utilizing only six primary colors. The Innovative Color Simulator process requires only one pass through the press to match a customerÕs color, eliminating the cost of multiple passes and color-match trials and proofs. The company applies the process to its manufacture of folding cartons and pressure-sensitive labels. Innovative Folding Carton Co., South Plainfield, NJ.
