The Science Behind Scented Slurry for Printed Products
In the world of printing, innovation is key to staying ahead. Orlandi's scented slurry technology is a prime example of how cutting-edge advancements can transform traditional processes, particularly in the realm of flexographic (flexo) printing. Read on for more about the science behind Orlandi's scented slurry and explore the benefits it offers to flexo printers.
What is Scented Slurry?
Scented slurry is a micro-encapsulated fragrance solution designed to be applied to various printed materials, from scratch and sniff labels, to postcards, catalogs, and even retail packaging. Orlandi's scented slurry is formulated by expert chemists to be compatible with conventional flexo and silk screen print platforms. This technology allows printers to add a sensory dimension to their products, creating an engaging experience for consumers.
The Technology Behind Scented Slurry
Orlandi's scented slurry technology involves the encapsulation of fragrance oils within a slurry solution. This slurry is then applied to printed materials using standard printing techniques. The encapsulation process ensures that the fragrance is protected until it is intentionally released, such as when a consumer scratches a scented label or opens a scented postcard.
Key elements of this technology include:
Micro-Encapsulation: This process involves enclosing fragrance oils in tiny capsules that protect the scent until it is released. This ensures longevity and stability of the fragrance.
Compatibility with Flexo Printing: Orlandi's scented slurry is designed to work seamlessly with flexo printing equipment, allowing printers to integrate this technology without significant modifications to their existing processes.
Customizable Fragrances: Orlandi offers a wide range of standard scents, from simple fruit fragrances to complex floral, baked goods, and even unique aromas like fresh cut grass or cigar. Additionally, we can adapt custom fragrances into print slurry for retail labels and packaging of products such as candles, room sprays, and detergents.
Benefits for Flexo Printers
Flexo printers using Orlandi's scented slurry technology can enjoy several benefits:
Enhanced Consumer Engagement: Adding a scent to printed materials can significantly enhance consumer interaction and engagement. Scented products are more likely to capture attention and leave a lasting impression.
Versatility: Orlandi's scented slurry can be applied to a variety of printed materials, including labels, postcards, catalogs, and on-package applications. This versatility allows printers to offer a wide range of scented products to their clients.
Ease of Integration: The technology is designed to be easily integrated into existing flexo printing processes. Orlandi provides support and training to ensure that printers can successfully apply the scented slurry to their products.
Customization: With the ability to adapt custom fragrances into slurry, printers can support brands that market scented retail products with unique packaging that aligns designed to boost sales.
