Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method for digitally manufacturing a scratch and sniff portion on a substrate with microencapsulated fragrance varnish and the resulting scratch and sniff product. The method can include steps of printing a base image on a substrate using a digital ink and identifying the scratch and sniff portion on the substrate for application of the microencapsulated fragrance varnish. The method can further include applying the microencapsulated fragrance varnish to the scratch and sniff portion on the substrate using a digital printing process with a large orifice print head. The microencapsulated fragrance varnish can require physical activation to release the fragrance.
