UniLustre and Holographic UniLustre metallic papers and boards utilize a very thin foil layer, allowing the papers and boards to be recycled. Designed to be easy to design with, convert, and print on, the film- and foil-free nonlaminated products can also be made from PCR. In addition, they offer excellent dead-fold properties, are curl-free, and do not flake.
