Thermal BOPP PCR Anti-Scratch Matt

Thermal BOPP PCR Anti-Scratch Matt Lamination Film combines an extra matt appearance with enhanced resistance to scuffing, scratching and abrasion. Manufactured using 30% chemically recycled post-consumer raw material, it protects premium printed materials while supporting the reuse of discarded plastic resources.

This film is particularly suited to black and dark-coloured designs, where surface marks can be more noticeable. Its protective finish helps maintain presentation through converting, distribution, retail display and customer handling.

What is Thermal BOPP PCR Anti-Scratch Matt Lamination Film?

Thermal BOPP PCR Anti-Scratch Matt is a transparent polypropylene film with a specialist scratch-resistant surface and a heat-activated adhesive.

The extra matt finish creates a refined appearance, while the protective surface helps reduce visible damage caused by rubbing and handling throughout the finished product’s life.

Thirty per cent of its raw material comes from chemically recycled post-consumer plastic waste, allowing protective print finishing to incorporate recycled-origin resources.
