Nobelus, a supplier of specialty films for the print and packaging industries, was awarded first place in the prestigious Printing United Alliance product competition for PlatinumOPP antibacterial thermal laminate film.

PlatinumOPP won the top spot in the Pinnacle Product Awards – Laminates, Adhesives, Films and Coatings category. The competition recognizes innovative and quality print-related technology and products.

The antibacterial laminate is produced with organic matter which destroys bacteria and inhibits the spread of germs on the film surface. The organic nature of the overlaminate makes it safe for use on children’s books, menus, medical collateral, and any products where cleanliness and consumer safety are key. The laminate is available in a high-gloss or dead-flat matte finish and boasts outstanding clarity, strength, flexibility, and adhesion.

“Print service providers and brand owners continue to search for ways to support stricter hygiene standards and we are pleased to be recognized for bringing innovative solutions to our industry,” states Tom Snooks, product manager for Nobelus.
