Mirra Film Products
As with so many of the Allkotes products, the metallised Mirra film products are a perfect vehicle to mix and match within our product range, particularly with our new exciting MICROMOTION technology.
MirraKote
A high chrome mirror film lamination which offers an improved reflective finish on our traditional ReflectaKote finish. Of course, this silver film comes at a higher cost which is reflective of the high quality of the finished product. Mirra is the name and mirror is the finish. Ideal for prestige packaging and point of sale or anywhere the impact of a mirror is desired.
ReflectaKote - Silver
A metalised reflective finish using a high quality film lamination. An economic alternative to foil board without the demands of large volumes. Smaller quantities are readily available on the sheet size of your choice. Can be printed with most foil inks, UV offset or foil stamped. Ideal for point of sale, cosmetic boxes, liquor cartons, greeting cards, books, annual reports etc.
ReflectaKote - Gold
There are golds and more golds, but we have a standard gold gloss and matt available ex-stock for quick delivery. Colour matching is subject to production restraints and you should contact us at the concept stage if a specific gold is required.
ReflectaKote - Matt
ReflectaKote Silver and Gold are available in a matt finish for a fashionable alternative to the gloss finish. A standard metallised matt is available in both silver and gold.
ReflectaKote - Colours
All the colours of the rainbow are available subject to colour matching and production needs. For quick delivery, there is a standard blue, red and green which normally covers most requirements. Ask for samples.
Holographics
Endless number of exciting designs with both a metallised or clear finish for packaging, book and magazine covers or any other printed promotional material. Allkotes has an ex-stock range of designs already laminated to board for quick delivery. Or we laminate your chosen designs to your board. Special or individual designs are available, but these are subject to lead times depending upon your requirements. For example, a personalised logo design will involve a capital cost for the manufacture of the template.
BrushKote
An exciting new development in metallised silver lamination with the addition of brush strokes to add prestige and class to your finished product. Looks similar to the brushed aluminium finishes as seen in car interiors and electrical home appliances. Used for luxury product packaging or point of sale.
Micromotion
MicroKote
Micromotion, better known as MicroKote in Allkotes terms, is just about the best thing to happen in coating and laminating in years.
It is just a sensational finish which breaks new bounds by taking the print graphic into a 3rd dimension with outstanding effects.
Allkotes is proud to be licensed by Serigraph in the U.S for the adaptation of Micromotion for the Australian and New Zealand print market.
It has to be seen to be believed and it is most difficult to describe the varying and ultimate effects of micromotion on your printed sheet.
As our promotional material reads, “A real blast! Blows your mind and your eyes with a unique, distinctive visual effect that is ideal for Point of Sale, Book and Magazine covers, DVD Packaging and the like.”
It is particularly relevant to Point of Sale as it turns any poster, stand ups, counter cards, light box graphics into something special with a swirl and burst of colour and visual effect for the best in eye catching appeal.
If you want to get involved in Micromotion, please speak to Allkotes at the concept stage as the production of the print and Micromotion go hand in hand.
There are unlimited illusions, designs and effects with Micromotion and it is best to rely on input of the Allkotes design team to work with the graphic designer and the marketing department.
Ordinarily, the design requires extensive sampling to achieve the desired result so time is required for maximum results.
For instance, in many cases, the final approval of the final design is produced when the printed sheet comes to Allkotes for the sampling stage when different patterns can be applied.
Sure Micromotion can be added to your print graphic after the design stage, but the best results come with the joint creativity of the graphic designer together with the Allkotes design team to achieve the maximum impact of the product.
PhotoKote
Photomotion, known in our product range as PhotoKote, is a derivative of the Micromotion Technology through the different use of graphics to produce a more in depth effect.
Best used on graphics where multiple colours are featured as the process creates an ‘on/off’ flash effect when viewed at different angles.
Foil Stamping
FoilKote
Foil stamping and embossing have always gone hand in hand with laminating and coating. All these processes are a form of embillishment and are very complementary. Foil is particularly prominent in the area of book covers. A combination of MatteKote, SpotKote, FoilKote and embossing is much sort after on the covers of today’s paperbacks. So, whether it’s just gold or coloured foils or embossing or combinations of all the above, your printed job will greatly benefit from the Allkotes touch.
Embossing
The more traditional way of raising a printed design or typeface on book covers and display cartons. Comes in various forms and heights so it’s always advisable to speak to your Allkotes representative to discuss your requirements. More often used with other Allkotes processes, particularly film lamination and foil stamping as on paperback book covers.
Holographics
Endless number of exciting designs with both a metallised or clear finish for packaging, book and magazine covers or any other printed promotional material. Also used in the foil stamping process for reasons of increased security where counterfeiting is prevalent. Special or individual designs are available but these are subject to lead times depending upon your requirements. For example, a personalised logo design will involve a capital cost for the manufacture of the template.
