Digi-stick BOPP Antimicrobial Matt

Digi-stick BOPP Antimicrobial Matt

Digi-Stick BOPP Antimicrobial Matt Lamination Film is a specialist thermal lamination film designed for digital print applications requiring enhanced hygiene protection, superior adhesion and professional matt presentation. Manufactured from bi-axially oriented polypropylene (BOPP), this film combines advanced Digi-Stick adhesive technology with built-in antimicrobial properties to help inhibit the growth of bacteria and microorganisms on the laminated surface.

Engineered specifically for toner-based and digitally printed substrates including HP Indigo, dry toner and laser print applications, Digi-Stick BOPP Antimicrobial Matt provides strong reliable adhesion whilst delivering a smooth low-reflective finish and durable surface protection. Ideal for healthcare materials, menus, brochures, packaging and other frequently handled printed products, this film combines hygienic surface performance with refined professional aesthetics.

What is Digi-Stick Antimicrobial Matt Lamination Film?

Digi-Stick Antimicrobial Matt 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 heavy 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 smooth matt finish reduces glare and improves readability, making it particularly suitable for healthcare print, educational materials, menus, signage and other high-contact printed applications requiring both hygienic performance and professional presentation.
