We often get asked: “do you have a flexible product for labels printing?”

MicroFlex lenticular labels printed samples

So we decided to identify the the market requirements.

• in terms of thickness.
• in terms of resin.
• in terms of recyclability.

And we found the answer by the name of MicroFlex™.

Microflex ultra thin lenticular

MicroFlex™ is a thin film, with a continuous lens array embossed onto one surface and gloss printable surface on the opposite surface. The product is press stable, press friendly and environmentally 100% recyclable. The thinnest press stable lens array material on the market…

The new MicroFlex™ rolls are produced using PETG (Recycle Code: 01) resin, the previous PP is still available for custom productions. Good news, the new film is thinner : about 100 microns. It is possible to order a thinner product for printers who are laminating the printed image to the back of the lenticular film.

Printing on MicroFlex™ requires specially prepared images, very high resolution plates (our partner can go to 9600 dpi) and also high resolution anilox rolls (1600 to 1800 lpi with low BCM). This is why we warmly recommend to work with our prepress partners.
