Engineered specifically for toner-based and digitally printed substrates including HP Indigo, dry toner and laser print applications, Digi-Stick BOPP Antimicrobial Gloss provides strong reliable adhesion whilst delivering excellent clarity, high shine and durable surface protection. Ideal for healthcare materials, menus, brochures, packaging and other frequently handled printed products, this film combines premium visual impact with hygienic surface performance.

What is Digi-Stick Antimicrobial Gloss Lamination Film?

Digi-Stick Antimicrobial Gloss Lamination Film is a specialised digital thermal lamination film developed for toner-based print applications where standard laminates may struggle to achieve sufficient adhesion. The advanced Digi-Stick adhesive layer is engineered specifically for difficult digital print surfaces, including high toner coverage and digitally printed substrates.

The film also incorporates antimicrobial surface technology designed to inhibit bacterial and microbial growth on the laminated surface. Independent laboratory testing performed according to ISO 21702 and ISO 22196 standards has demonstrated significant reductions in bacteria and viruses within 24 hours.

Its high-gloss finish enhances colour vibrancy, contrast and print clarity, making it particularly suitable for premium packaging, retail graphics and high-contact printed materials requiring both visual impact and hygienic protection.
