FLEXcon Helps Converters Out Sparkle the Competition with Extension of Shimmercal Product Line

FLEXcon, an innovator in adhesive coating and laminating, today announced the expansion of its SHIMMERcal product line with the introduction of SHIMMERcal Mixed Disco, a glitter film. Ideal for sticker and decal, at-retail, point-of-purchase (P-O-P) displays, promotional, and event graphic applications, the new film adds to our broad range of brilliant color options available.

SHIMMERcal V 240 Mixed Disco is a 2.4 mil rigid clear vinyl with a permanent, aggressive pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive filled with special effect metallic flakes that create a unique glitter appearance. The film is backed with a 90 lb. moisture stable polycoated layflat release liner that is ideal for sheet-form converting. The product is thermally diecuttable, provides good tack and excellent ultimate adhesion properties, and is printable via solvent and UV screen, and solvent and UV inkjet.

“We are always looking for new ways to give our customers an edge over the competition by delivering products that not only stand out, but also align with their clients’ branding and design,” said Sam Covello, Product Manager, Product Branding Business Team. “The SHIMMERcal Mixed Disco color is thoughtfully designed to allow the glitter film to show through and become part of the design.”

SHIMMERcal glitter films are available in 40″ master web width in nine colors: mixed disco (new), black, blue, dark red, fuchsia, gold, green, red and silver. Additional information on FLEXcon’s SHIMMERcal product line can be found here.
