Stahl introduces Sensora® haptic coatings for premium packaging experiences

Synopsis:
Stahl has introduced its updated Sensora® portfolio of haptic coatings designed to create distinctive tactile packaging experiences. The range offers soft, velvety, silky, rubbery and textured finishes for paper, board, labels and flexible packaging. Water-based and energy-curable technologies support food-contact and sustainability requirements, helping brands enhance consumer engagement, product differentiation and premium packaging experiences.

Stahl, a global provider of speciality coatings for flexible materials, today introduces its updated Sensora® portfolio: a range of high-performance haptic coatings designed to help brands create distinctive tactile packaging experiences.

In today’s competitive marketplace, packaging must do more than attract attention on shelf. It must create memorable experiences that engage consumers through both visual appeal and touch. Sensora® enables packaging to become a multisensory journey through touch, adding tactile finishes from soft and velvety to smooth, silky, rubbery and textured.

Developed for paper and board, narrow web and flexible packaging, Sensora® is suitable for a broad range of food and non-food applications, including folding cartons, labels, flexible food packaging, cosmetics, technology products and luxury goods.

“With Sensora®, Stahl helps brands harness the power of touch in packaging,” says Paul Grzebielucha, Group Director Packaging Coatings at Stahl. “By combining tactile differentiation with proven coating performance, Sensora® enables customers to create premium experiences that enhance consumer engagement and strengthen brand identity.”

The range includes water-based and energy-curable technologies that deliver matte, soft-feel and other haptic finishes while supporting stringent safety and sustainability standards. Selected products offer food-contact compliant options, such as FDA, Swiss Ordinance, German Ink Ordinance, ISEGA and EuPIA compliance.

Stahl will be present at Loupe Americas 2026, booth 727, where visitors can explore the Sensora® portfolio first-hand and discover how its haptic coating technologies can help create differentiated packaging that appeals to the senses.
