Stahl launches upgraded Sensora tactile coatings for packaging
Stahl has launched an upgraded version of its Sensora tactile coatings portfolio for packaging, unveiled on 31 August 2026 in Waalwijk, the Netherlands. The water-based and energy-curable range offers soft-velvet, silky, rubbery, textured and matte finishes for paper, board, labels and flexible packaging, with selected grades meeting food-contact requirements including US FDA, Swiss, German and EuPIA standards. Stahl will present the range at Loupe Americas 2026 in Chicago, booth 727.
Why this mattersTactile finishes give converters and brand owners a new lever for shelf differentiation as visual-only packaging design becomes commoditised.
