HAPTIC COATINGS
These coatings add a sensory dimension to printed materials, enhancing perceived value and customer engagement. By appealing to the sense of touch, tactile coatings help brands stand out on the shelf and reinforce product quality and exclusivity.
- Unisoft – Soft Touch Coating is a specialty finish that imparts a luxurious, soft-feel or suede-like/velvety texture to the surface of paper, board, and films. This haptic coating enhances the sensory appeal of printed materials, making it ideal for premium packaging, high-end labels, book covers, and promotional items where a distinctive, elegant touch is desired.
- Unitact – Tactile Coatings are specialty finishes designed to create distinctive surface textures—such as a paper-like or sand-like feel—on paper, board, and film substrates.
They are particularly well-suited for premium wine and spirit labels, luxury cosmetic and fragrance packaging, specialty food containers, and high-end promotional materials.
ANTI-MIST COATINGS
Unistar’s Anti-Mist Coating is an optically transparent, water-based coating specifically designed to prevent condensation on clear food packaging films.
 By offering excellent anti-misting properties, it enhances the visibility, presentation, and shelf appeal of packaged products. This coating is particularly useful in packaging applications for fresh produce, bakery goods, ready-to-eat meals, refrigerated items, and other moisture-sensitive food products—ensuring that the contents remain clearly visible even under cold or humid storage conditions. Unistar’s Anti-mist Coating is compliant for direct food contact in accordance with EU Regulation 10/2011.
FLOURESCENT INKS
Unistar’s Fluorescent Inks are available in a vibrant range of high-impact colors, specially formulated to fluoresce—emitting bright, glowing effects when exposed to UV light.
 This unique visual enhancement makes them ideal for applications where standout visibility and striking aesthetics are essential. Commonly used in promotional and decorative designs, these inks are perfect for attention-grabbing graphics, retail displays, event materials, and limited-edition packaging. Fluorescent inks deliver enhanced vibrancy both under normal lighting and with dramatic effect under UV illumination, making them a popular choice for creative, high-impact print work.
SECURITY INKS
Security inks are specialized inks formulated to protect printed materials from counterfeiting, tampering, and unauthorized reproduction.
These inks incorporate unique visual or chemical properties that are difficult to replicate, making them essential for brand protection and authentication.
- Photochromic Inks – React to sunlight; used for covert branding or promotional materials.
- UV Fluorescent Inks – Glow under UV light; used on banknotes, ID cards, and official documents.
- Optically Variable Inks (OVI) – Shift color based on viewing angle; used in high-value items and government documents.
- Invisible Inks – Only revealed under specific conditions or tools; used for hidden markings and verification codes.
THERMOCHROMIC INKS
Unistars Thermochromic inks are a specialized ink system designed to undergo a visible color change in response to temperature fluctuations.
These inks provide dynamic, interactive visual effects that are both functional and attention-grabbing, making them ideal for use in promotional packaging, novelty items, temperature indicators on packaging, and brand security features.
GLOW IN THE DARK INKS
Glow-in-the-dark ink is a type of phosphorescent ink that absorbs and stores energy from sunlight or artificial light sources.
Once the light source is removed, the ink gradually re-emits the stored energy as a visible luminous glow in the dark, which naturally fades over time.
This unique effect makes it ideal for applications such as novelty items, safety signage, promotional materials, and special-effect packaging.
CONDUCTIVE INKS
Unistar’s Conductive Inks are advanced formulations containing conductive materials that enable them to carry electrical current. These inks are designed for use in printed electronics, offering a flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional wiring.
Common applications include printed circuits, touch sensors, RFID antennas, flexible displays, wearable electronics, and smart packaging. With excellent conductivity and compatibility with various substrates and printing methods, Unistar’s Conductive Inks are ideal for creating lightweight, low-profile electronic components in both industrial and consumer applications.
