Our Approaches to Scent
Micro Encapsulated Solutions:
Clearburst™ labels are a scent sampling device that delivers encapsulated oils held between two layers of film substrate. Cover can be peeled back to smell the essence of any scented product and can be resealed to deliver multiple olfactory trials. Perfect on custom cards, magazine pages, multiple page booklets and postcard mailers.
Clearburst™ labels can be sampled multiple times as the encapsulation heals itself when the ply is resealed. Unopened, the scent has a shelf life of at least one year. There is no pre-scent until the label is opened.

Solvent-Based Solutions:
Our coatings can be applied to almost any uncoated paper in multiple weights. There is no activation required by the consumer. The embedded oils slowly emit the scent by process of evaporation.
Scents-able Coatings and our special offset technology deliver superior 4-color reproduction of your creative graphics. This unique media can be die cut, embossed and stamped like any normal uncoated paper. These applications will not affect the scent rendition once manufacturing and curing is complete. Scents-able Coatings can also be applied via silk screen, roller coater, or IR/UV coater making it affordable in different quantities and sizes. This scent application must be kept fresh via BOPP or laminated film pouches until opening to activate.
