Application and use

HERMA PP Paperprint combines the high print quality of coated paper with the durability of PP films. With HERMA PP Paperprint an excellent print quality can be achieved in all traditional printing methods such as flexo, letterpress, gravure and offset printing. Furthermore the film is perfectly suited for subsequent inscription with matrix or thermal transfer printers using resin or resin/wax ribbons. Before printing it is recommended to freshen up the corona pretreatment.

HERMA PP Paperprint features high weather and UV-resistance and is thus perfectly suited for outdoor applications.

It is recommended to convert HERMA PP Paperprint within one year from date of production.

Adhesive 42N is suitable for applications requiring medium tack combined with good removability. It is particularly suited for labelling surfaces like cardboard, PE-Films and steel. Removability may be impaired if applied on certain surface coated materials.Adhesive 42N features excellent resistance to light, heat and ageing.

The supercalendered glassine is perfectly suited for assignment in labelling machines equipped with optical or mechanical scanners.
