The majority of plastic laminates for print deliver either a smooth, hard surface or a smooth, soft-feel surface. By and large, incorporating a texture into a laminate, until now, has been limited to smooth finishes. However, a new type of laminate is now available that delivers a different kind of “feel” altogether — grittiness.

What is Fine Grit Laminate?

Fine grit laminate is a plastic laminate that delivers texture via an embossed surface that emulates the feel of fine grains of sand. Because the texture is, in essence, embedded in the plastic laminate it can’t be rubbed-off during shipping or by frequent handling. And, like regular laminates, fine grit laminate deliver durability while preventing damage from liquids, scuffs, grease, etc.,

Why Use Fine Grit Laminate?

In a world of smooth finishes, a textured finish stands out as something unique, something different. The fine grit laminate surface can be used on business cards, brochures, book and catalog covers, pocket folders, packaging — any kind of printed piece where a textured surface will deliver extra attention.
