If you’re a converter, Skins® based products are easy to apply as overprint varnish, and suitable for use with your current print setup (flexo, gravure or offset) so they won’t slow down your productivity.

Skins® by Covestro open entirely new branding opportunities for all kinds of packaging and print applications using normal flexo, gravure or offset printers.

Silky: "Pharma and cosmetics companies are always asking me to help out. Is it my personality? Actually, I reckon it's the silky-smooth texture I add, which complements their USPs."

Rubbert: "These days, electronics can look quite similar. With my help, designers can make their products stand out with a cool touch of rubber here and there. Best of all, I'm easy to apply!"

Vel-Veeto: "If you want to take your product a bit up-market, I'm your man. Check out these fancy boxes with a real velvet feel. Your product is sold before they've even opened the package!"

They’re a fun bunch and love to add character to packaging with special coatings. They open up a whole new world of creative opportunities and tactile sensations for packaging design. And for much higher volumes than previously possible.

Our Skins® get everywhere! And they’ve made themselves at home in many different market sectors. A silky feel on packaging might suggest soft skin in the cosmetics industry. A velvety feel on a tag could suggest the sensuality of a piece of fashion or other luxury item.
