Scentisphere specializes in the microencapsulation of fragrance oils. In simple terms this is a process of converting fragrance oil into microscopic spheres that are then encased in a hardened shell. These microspheres are then mixed into printable coatings and varnishes. Once applied to a printed surface the capsules will release scent when a physical force such as scratching, rubbing, or lifting a flap is applied.
The benefits of this technology are…
- Excellent scent rendition
- The scent is stable for many years until activated
- The most economical and versatile scent sampling solution
The products listed below utilize micro-encapsulated scent technology. More information about micro encapsulated scent coating can be found on the SCENT COATINGS PAGE.
