A Smooth, Sophisticated Matte Finish Made Easy

A Smooth, Sophisticated Matte Finish Made Easy

When flexo or HP Indigo technology users ask for a durable, protective finish that delivers a refined, non-reflective look, production teams need a coating that performs consistently and meets those expectations without slowing workflows. Kustom Koatings KK0011 High Slip Matte UV Coating improves runability—a reliable matte UV option that can be applied in-line or off-line, giving teams flexibility in how they run jobs while maintaining excellent visual and tactile results.

Formulated with ultra-small matte particles, KK0011 delivers improved performance on roller coaters over conventional UV coatings. The KK0011 matte UV coating from Kustom Group was developed to meet the needs of an S-OneLP customer, a large New Jersey printer. Its production needed a solution for smaller roll to roll coaters and smaller anilox to deliver a smooth matte appearance while maintaining consistent viscosity and lack of buildup on the edge of rollers or doctor blades. 

“In order for us to keep the matte coating from separating after being in the bucket for a while we would need to add a special vehicle. With the help of Kustom Group and S-OneLP, they were able to formulate this matte coating specifically for our application with great laydown properties, no separation, and good mechanical resistance! Thank you for creating the KK0011 matte UV coating for our Indigo Department.”

KK0011 is a versatile solution for converters and print shops seeking a soft, low-gloss aesthetic. With a typical 15–20 gloss reading at 60°, it provides a smooth matte appearance with non-burnishing characteristics, helping printed pieces maintain their finish throughout handling and distribution. This coating can also be used over UV offset inks, offering strong rub resistance and dependable cure response.

This formulation features low thixotropy and excels as a protective matte for custom designs with quick production turnaround. KK0011 offers efficient, predictable laydown, ensuring equipment produces an even, consistent coating. While not intended for imprinting, foil stamping, or gluing applications, Kustom Koatings offers another coating version for these functionalities.

Flexo and HP Indigo technology users leveraging KK0011 see improved operational efficiency, thanks to its superior cure and compatibility with all varieties of coaters. 



KK0011 also reflects the broader value approach behind the collaboration of S-OneLP and Kustom Koatings: custom formulation support, application guidance, fast turnaround times, low MOQs, and an innovative partnership mindset. Whether you’re looking to streamline production, solve a coating challenge, or achieve a specific appearance, S-OneLP and Kustom Koatings are ready to help optimize performance for your specific application.
