UK-based Oriel Printing is the first certified Color-Logic printer to successfully use the Process Metallic Color System on plastics substrates.
Oriel, a 24-hour trade printer in Hull, gained its original certification more than a year ago, and has since adapted the process to polypropylene and clear recycled PET. The company produces high quality work across a wide range of material from cartonboards to plastics as thick as 1,000 micron.
Managing director Richard Simms comments: "The Color-Logic process on plastic is a low cost technique that makes products really stand out on the shelf. We expect it to be extremely popular in packaging. Oriel has invested a great deal of time to maximising the luster of the metallic ink on plastics substrates. Ordinary metallics are often dull and flat on plastics, and our technique provides excellent results and provides that extra wow factor to the consumer."
Color-Logic director of operations and eCommerce Dave Bowden adds: "Oriel provides brand managers and designers with a colour chart enabling them to produce 250 metallic colours using just five inks. In addition, the Color-Logic Design Suite permits adding decorative effects in a mere fraction of the time required by traditional methods."
