A lacquer transfer also known as decal is a decoration system consisting solely of paints, lacquers and, if necessary, an adhesive layer.

A lacquer transfer is a very thin image film that gives the impression that the image motif has been printed directly onto the decorative surface.


This decorative system offers almost unlimited possibilities and can be used on many surfaces for individual lettering, decorations, and brand names.

The finished lacquer transfer can be transferred in a very short time by pressing them on manually or mechanically.


In view of the wide range of possible applications, we have developed our own product qualities to meet different requirements.

  • impressal®

    impressal® transfers consist only of varnish, ink, and adhesive. 

    They have an extremely thin image film and are highly resistant to many chemical and mechanical influences.


    impressal® WB is suitable for plastics that emit gases.

  • durofix®

    durofix® transfers are suitable for decorations and lettering that must withstand even the most severe conditions.

    They are applied using a fixative, are extremely scratch-resistant, durable for the lifetime of the substrate, and resistant to many chemical influences.

  • Tattoos

    Temporary tattoos are particularly well suited as giveaways for ad campaigns and events.


    Using temporary tattoos at events as an alternative to the ‘classic’ stamp can provide greater protection against counterfeiting. They can also showcase your logo in one or more colours, as well as glow in the dark. 


    The tattoos are skin-friendly, washable, non-toxic and can be removed without leaving any residue, in accordance with the Cosmetics Regulation EC 1223/2009. 

  • TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS - impressal®

    1. Place the impressal® transfer on the image side and remove the protective paper from the adhesive side, if possible at a 180° angle.
    2. Place the adhesive side of the impressal® transfer onto the area to be decorated.
    3. Smooth the image evenly from the center to the sides.
    4. Slowly peel off the transparent backing film, if possible at a 180° angle, and rub with a clean cloth if necessary.

    3. Briefly moisten the backing paper with water and slowly peel it off.
    4. Thoroughly clean the image and the adjacent substrate with a damp cloth or sponge and allow to dry.
