While it’s not water-based like aqueous coatings, Soft Touch Coating can still be used on recyclable boards and supports lower material use compared to film lamination.
BonitoPack represents more than safety; it shows our commitment to quality, new innovations, and protecting the environment. The materials we use are chosen so that they surpass both performance and environmental standards. If you’re packing snacks, frozen foods, coffee, or pet products, we ensure your products are safe and help your brand’s unique image stand out.
Eco-friendly strength and a natural look for sustainable, stylish packaging that stands out.
When first impressions matter, the way your packaging feels can be just as powerful as how it looks. That’s where Soft Touch Coating shines. At BonitoPack, we offer this elegant finishing option for brands that want to create a smooth, velvety texture on their packaging boxes, one that instantly communicates refinement and exclusivity.
Soft Touch Coating is a special matte finish that gives printed surfaces a luxurious, suede-like feel. Unlike standard matte coatings, it doesn’t just reduce shine, it adds a tactile softness that invites customers to touch and engage with the box. This finish creates a sensory experience that complements premium products, from cosmetics and perfumes to high-end electronics and gourmet items.
While glossy coatings are designed to catch the eye, Soft Touch Coating is crafted to capture attention through feel. It creates a calm, smooth aesthetic with a gentle texture that enhances perceived value and brand sophistication. This makes it especially effective for packaging that aims to convey quality, trust, and exclusivity.
At BonitoPack, we recommend Soft Touch Coating for products that deserve a subtle yet memorable unboxing moment.
While both finishes offer a non-glossy appearance, Soft Touch Coating stands out with its silky texture and higher-end feel. Standard matte coatings look flat and smooth but lack the tactile appeal that Soft Touch provides. If your brand relies on detail and emotion, Soft Touch is the ideal upgrade.
Is it suitable for eco-friendly packaging?
While it’s not water-based like aqueous coatings, Soft Touch Coating can still be used on recyclable boards and supports lower material use compared to film lamination.
Is Soft Touch Coating durable for shipping and retail display?
Yes, it offers a layer of protection against scuffing and abrasion, making it suitable for retail environments and transit.
Can it be combined with Spot UV or foil stamping?
Yes, and this is a popular choice. The contrast between the soft matte and glossy or metallic elements creates a striking, high-end effect.
Does Soft Touch Coating attract fingerprints?
It resists fingerprints better than traditional matte finishes but may still show some marks under heavy handling.
Is Soft Touch Coating the same as velvet lamination?
They’re similar in feel but different in application. Velvet lamination is a film, while Soft Touch Coating is a liquid finish. Both provide a soft feel, but coating is lighter and more flexible for certain designs.
