Custom Solutions
Within Kernow Coatings we create many specialised items for niche and new markets. The following list mentions some specific items and gives an overview of what we can offer to more specialised customers.
Coating - From our broad portfolio of formulations, we can undertake coating work on other manufacturers' substrates, adding pressure-sensitive adhesives, if required. As our coating and thermal stabilisation plant has been built in-house, primarily for specialised synthetics markets, we are able to take on relatively low-quantity work that helps increase the breadth of our customers' offerings.

Laminating - We can laminate customers' face materials with various types of pressure-sensitive adhesives, specialising in filmic releases. We also thicken films by permanent bonding to clear or white polyester backings.

Conversion - Most Kernow Coatings products can be finished to customers' 'private label' requirements, including sheeting, roll slitting/rewinding, file punching and customised packaging, with design input through our own origination department.

Die-Cutting - Die-cutting and flexo-printing facilities enable many specialised end-product projects to be undertaken, including in-line custom branding of narrow format products.

Labels - Usually bespoke to suit various applications and technologies (not only digital) we manufacture a wide range of pressure-sensitive label products, mostly synthetics, polyester-based, for offset litho, laser and inkjet printing applications.

Primarily for sheet applications, these materials are available as sheets, rolls and as perforated and/or die-cut sheets. Certain standard sizes are available, but they are readily customised, including brand customisation with logo back-printing to customer order.

Some of the Roll Label materials are suitable for offset litho, as well as screen and flexo printing. Normally sold on a make-to-order basis in mini-reel form to converters, they are based on Clear, Translucent, Matt and Gloss white polyesters.

They are normally constructed on filmic release, with a variety of adhesive types, from high-strength to MultiCling. However, where it is adequate for the application, we use paper releases at lower cost. And like for most of our products we always value environmental issues as a priority, therefore all our adhesives are once again water-based acrylic type formulation, safer, cleaner for our environment to produce and to dispose of.

Because of the variability of customers' needs in the printing industry, some of these products will be in stock, and some will be manufactured to order, Please contact us with your specific requirements.
