Breit Technologies introduces textured decorative finishes

Breit Technologies specializes in cast and cure technology, a decorative coating process for package printers that forms unique, high quality surface finishes such as ultra-high gloss, matte, texture and holographic patterns. Breit Technologies supplies both the specialized high-speed equipment as well as an inventory of films with an array of finishing patterns. Equipment is available for sheet fed applications, narrow to wide web applications, and can be integrated with existing processes in-line, off-line or in by-pass mode. The process uses eco-friendly, VOC-free inks and varnishes, is less expensive than hot and cold foil stamping, and can use UV, LED or EB curing.

Using the company’s cast and cure technology and proprietary casting films, the new textured patterns presently include linen and brushed stroke, and can be applied as high resolution spot as well as flood finishes. A wide variety of cast and cure decorative finishes can be applied to film, paper and other substrates using the company’s unique patterned films. Film patterns are impressed onto varnished surfaces and cured with LED, UV or EB sources. The films can be reused multiple times, providing excellent cost economies on volume runs, Breit Technologies said.

Over 30 films patterns are presently available for matte, ultra-high gloss, textured and holographic finishes. 

Cast and cure can be applied using existing cold foil stations or with Breit Technologies’ custom machine lines available for narrow web, wide web and sheet-fed applications.
