MetaliK Cut & Print and MetaliK Inkjet
KernowJet MetaliK Cut & Print and MetaliK Inkjet, the latest innovations from Kernow, were
launched. Th e Kernow R&D team focused on creating benefi ts and solutions, using ultra-dimensionally
stable polyester fi lms. Shrinking lettering on a hot, south facing widow and the risk of ugly exposed
adhesive edges is now consigned to history. Th e MetaliK range off ers versatility of the products, widths
up to 60 in. and diff erent adhesives according to the use, i.e. wet-application, removable, or permanent
installations. When applied on glass, the double-sided metallization-eff ect looks amazing and is a major
benefi t.
All versions can be printed and the colors chosen to match the requirements of perfume houses,
luxury boutiques and to brighten Christmas campaigns.
All that glitters is, indeed, KernowJet MetaliK Gold… Silver… and the new, on-trend, Rose-Gold.
Bosy Colak, president, Kernow North America, commented, “We approached our R&D team with a
challenge – create something special – which they have done and then some. Th e wide-format market
was in need of a new, bright, innovative product for packaging, signs, and graphics. MetaliK goes above
and beyond expectations when it comes to high-performance metallic solutions.”
All KernowJet MetaliK fi lms will be available in 54in and 60in widths.
