Using an NFC-enabled mobile device, consumers can quickly scan cost-effective paper-based printed circuitry to reveal instructions or ingredients, go to a dedicated website or online promotion, or share the product via any of the social media channels. And, brands can communicate in different languages without cluttering packaging graphics.
PowerCoat paper has a sustainable substrate with polymer-like smoothness (as low as 10 nanometers) that offers excellent printability and ink adhesion properties without any plastic content. Its fine surface allows high-resolution fine patterning of any solution-based electronic layer. Its natural roll-to-roll capability makes it possible to produce large area flexible products in a continuous printing process.
Using existing pressroom environments and processes, the thermal stability of the paper allows precision control during sintering (the process which fuses conductive inks to the substrate). Its structure can withstand the high temperatures required for low-resistance silver ink without the discoloration experienced by other papers on the market, and significantly reduces the consumption of these expensive inks.
With its natural properties and smoothness, PowerCoat efficiently uses expensive chemicals and inks. And because it is 100% recyclable, biodegradable, and FSC certified, using the paper helps save on the cost of production but also significantly reduces environmental impact.
