Packaging material with matte and glossy appearance, and cold seal adhesive

A packaging material, comprising:

• a substrate having opposite first and second sides, wherein the substrate comprises ink on a polymeric film, the polymeric film forms the first side of the substrate, and the polymeric film is transparent, translucent or any combination thereof;
• cold seal adhesive on the second side of the substrate;
• glossy cold seal release lacquer on the first side of the substrate, wherein the glossy cold seal release lacquer is transparent, translucent or any combination thereof;
• and
• matte cold seal release lacquer in opposing, face-to-face, direct contact with, and fixedly connected to, a first predetermined surface area of the glossy cold seal release lacquer, so that:
• the matte cold seal release lacquer covers the first predetermined surface area of the glossy cold seal release lacquer,
• the first predetermined surface area of the glossy cold seal release lacquer is positioned between the matte cold seal release lacquer and the first side of the substrate,
• the matte cold seal release lacquer forms a first portion of an exterior surface of the packaging material,
• a second predetermined surface area of the glossy cold seal release lacquer is not covered by the matte cold seal release lacquer,
• the second predetermined surface area of the glossy cold seal release lacquer forms a second portion of the exterior surface of the packaging material, and
• the first and second portions of the exterior surface of the packaging material are contiguous with one another;
• wherein the packaging material is formed into a roll in which:
• the cold seal adhesive is releasably adhered to both the glossy cold seal release lacquer and the matte cold seal release lacquer;
• the glossy cold seal release lacquer is fixedly adhered to the substrate;
• and
• the matte cold seal release lacquer is fixedly attached to the glossy cold seal release lacquer.

A method of at least partially forming packaging material, the method comprising:

• applying, in at least one coat, glossy cold seal release lacquer, so that the applied glossy cold seal release lacquer is on a first side of a substrate;
• and
• applying, in at least one coat, matte cold seal release lacquer directly onto at least a first predetermined surface area of the applied glossy cold seal release lacquer, wherein:
• the applied matte cold seal release lacquer forms a first portion of an exterior surface of the packaging material, and
• a second predetermined surface area of the glossy cold seal release lacquer forms a second portion of the exterior surface of the packaging material, and
• the glossy cold seal release lacquer having a shinier visual appearance than the matte cold seal release lacquer;
• applying, in at least one coat, a pattern of cold seal adhesive on a second side of the substrate;
• and
• forming the packaging material into a roll so that the cold seal adhesive is in opposing, face-to-face contact with at least one of the glossy cold seal release lacquer and the matte cold seal release lacquer.
