High-Quality Packaging Enhancement with Japris

The prismatic effect gravure cylinder Japris (Janoschka Prismatic Effect Cylinder) from Janoschka is an outstanding solution for enhancing printed packaging. Light reflections and varying levels of luminosity create animated patterns as well as metallic and prismatic effects.

In addition, special security features make Japris an effective tool in the fight against product piracy. For this groundbreaking innovation, Janoschka was awarded the “Gold” International Gravure Award by the GRA (Global Rotogravure Association) in the “Packaging” category this year.

The Japris eyecatcher actively engages consumers by creating entirely new visual effects through tilting, twisting, and turning. Applied partially or fully – either using one of the 80 existing patterns or a custom-designed motif – this finishing solution offers a wide range of application possibilities. Japris achieves its special effects on any background color and can be combined with all common finishing processes, enhancing embossing, UV structures, and other decorative elements. Printing is possible on a wide variety of plastic films, carton, and laminated cardboard. The prismatic effect gives brands an additional advantage at the point of sale with visually striking and captivating designs.

The Japris Finishing Solution

Japris enables packaging finishing at the highest level. The special preparation of the design data and gravure cylinder during the prepress process allows the reproduction of “movable” patterns or metallic effects, giving packaging a dynamic, two-dimensional appearance. Products are guaranteed to catch the consumer’s eye at the point of sale. Light reflection, luminosity, and the impression of movement add an interactive element to the packaging. Personalized design concepts or approved patterns can be implemented at any time. Its integrated security feature also enables Japris to be used to combat product piracy.

The effect is produced inline and can be applied directly to the desired substrate via the special gravure cylinder. No additional post-print finishing steps are required, eliminating extra processing costs, waste, or complexity. Japris adds the finishing touch to existing embossing, UV structures, and other decorative elements. The solution is compatible with countless plastic films, various types of carton, and laminated cardboard. It is therefore ideal for the FMCG sector (flexible packaging for food and non-food) as well as the tobacco industry.
