Converting & Printing

Suitable for solvent, water‑based and UV flexo; letterpress; UV offset; UV varnishing and direct thermal printing. No ribbon required for direct thermal.

Details

Offers longer life than eco thermal papers. The barrier top‑coat improves resistance in humid/wet environments and provides better light stability. Commonly used for poultry/meat packaging, shipping labels, product and address labels.

Adhesive Options

  • Adhesive Code 11 — Deep‑Freeze Acrylic: For freezer applications stored around −20°C; meat/poultry, lab samples, ice‑cream, etc.
  • Adhesive Code 12 — UV‑Resistant Acrylic: For pharma and plastic containers; high performance on glass, PE, PP and squeezable packs; withstands sterilization, UV and weather exposure.
  • Adhesive Code 17 — Non‑Perm (Removable): Strong hold yet removes cleanly without residue; glass surfaces, wet‑wipe open/close, wood sizing labels.
  • Adhesive Code 32 — Rubber Hotmelt: Robust permanent adhesive for difficult and rough substrates; carton labels and outdoor‑exposed applications.

Application & Use

Poultry/meat pack labels, shipping, product and address labels. Choose the adhesive code according to your application; direct thermal printing ensures efficient operation without ribbons.
