Freelife Vellum papers and boards are ideal for any kind of applications, publishing, packaging and commercial printing. They are held in high regard for coordinated graphic materials, special publications, brochures and booklets. Can be used without problems with the main printing systems: letterpress, offset, blind embossing, hot foil stamping, thermography and screen printing.

Ideal for use with oxidative drying inks due to the macro-porous surface. Good chromatic result: attainable ink load, dot-gain and printing contrast are analogous to those obtainable onto pure pulp substrates. Varnishing and plastic laminating must be assessed in advance. The varnish, coated with an offset machine, is almost fully absorbed and therefore does not improve gloss or protection.

Screen-printing varnishing achieves better results, although it is often necessary to perform two shots to achieve a distinctly evident result. The surface roughness, typical of uncoated paper, may give rise to micro defects with plastic laminating caused by incomplete adhesion of the film to the substrate. Good results with major processing operations such as cutting, die-cutting, scoring, folding and gluing.
