Balathane is a durable vinyl-coated covermaterial on a dyed backing paper base. Balathane guarantees a high-quality, luxurious look and is the perfect alternative for PU-coated materials. Because Balathane is perfectly suitable for processing on any high-speed fully-automatic casemaker, production costs will be considerably reduced. And of course, semi-automatic or manual processing of Balathane is also possible. This material provides the perfect result in foil blocking, blind embossing and screen printing. Balathane is the ideal covermaterial when durability is of the essence, for instance with books, photo albums, menus, diaries and so on.

The Balathane collection contains three different qualities:

Excellent : in addition to the pleasant soft touch, these designs are thermo-reactive; upon blind embossing, the material will change colour. Salsa Sensuale Prestige : these designs have that special PU soft touch. Algora Amalfi Capri Foscari Lucera Megara

Timeless : classic designs, which have proven themselves. Heritage Merino Orinoco Tanarto
