Micro-Fragrance Encapsulation Technology:

Micro-fragrance is a technique for trapping Scent inside seal-tight 4-8µm microcapsules and applied to a substrate during the printing process. When the substrate is rubbed, the perfume is released with all of its substances. The process of the encapsulation of the perfume is formulated as follows:

1. Perfume composition provided by the perfumer.
2. Scent supplied from the aroma library of microencapsulation specialist.
3. Printed tests are carried out on paper to verify perfume strength in capsules prior to final production.
4. In printing, the microcapsules are incorporated into a slurry or varnish.
