Microencapsulation was invented in the 1950's by National Cash Register in Dayton, Ohio for the carbonless copy paper industry. From there the uses for the technology seemed almost endless and a wide variety of industries began to utilize different shell materials, internal phases and techniques to manufacture microcapsules for their specific end use. Lipo Technologies Inc. was incorporated in 1990 and we are a privately held company. Before we became Lipo Technologies we were Djinni Industries, whose claim to fame was encapsulated liquid crystal for mood rings and thermometers. Once we became Lipo we expanded our technology platforms and our customer base. At LTI we consider our true advantage our versatility. We think of ourselves as a solution provider and we come to you with our "toolbox" to help you solve your toughest production dilemmas. Please visit our website to get a brief overview of just some of the technologies we utilize and contact us to discuss your project in further detail.

Fragrance Printing Products

LTI has a line of products designed for printing fragrances via a variety of methods to achieve a great marketing effect. There are three product categories:

  • TransluScent – This is by far our top selling product because of it’s versatility. There are three versions of this product TransluScent Flexo Varnish, TransluScent AQ Coating and TransluScent Capsules. The flexo varnish is used in the printing of stickers and labels. The AQ Coating is used on a sheetfed press in an anilox aqueous coating unit. The Capsules can also be added to your own waterbased ink or coating with our guidance. The TransluScent product creates a rub and smell or scratch and sniff effect.

  • InstaScent – This product also creates a scratch and sniff effect, but is designed to be screen printed or applied on a web press with a remoistenable glue unit.

  • Snap & Burst – This product is the most common way to advertise perfumes. It is printed on a web press out of a remoistenable glue unit. The product is easily identifiable as having a folded flap of paper that, when unfolded, releases microencapsulated fragrance oil.
