- Questar® Brand Soft Touch Features
- Softest Feel – for quality and performance
- A much softer feel than plain PET, polypropylene, or imitation matte finish coatings or inks.
- Better heat resistance and mechanical properties of PET vs. other films.
- Ultra-Low Gloss – Up to 95% less gloss than regular matte films.
- No glare from lighting to reflect out graphics at point of purchase.
- Excellent graphical quality of reverse printing to make the image pop.
- High COF – Higher coefficient of friction makes it ideal for large package palletizing and shelving stability.
- Safety and security in package transit and point of purchase display.
- Anti-blocking surface ensures that bags will not stick together under high temperature and pressure (enables consumer to remove the bag at point of purchase).
- COF is optimized for converting performance consistency (printing, laminating, and converting lines) for less downtime and overall lower cost of conversion.
- Softest Feel – for quality and performance
- What is Soft Touch PET Film?
Soft touch polyester film, also called soft touch PET film, is a plastic film that has been treated so that it feels soft and smooth to the touch. Soft touch PET film has tactile, physical, mechanical, optical, thermal, electrical and chemical properties that make it very well suited for many specialized applications.
