Application and use

HERMAextracoat is suitable for high-quality labels with multi-colour imprint. The semi-gloss coated surface of HERMAextracoat offers an excellent quality of the imprint with all conventional printing methods as well as with thermal transfer and laser printing.

Furthermore HERMAextracoat (242) can be printed with digital printing methods such as Xeikon and UV-Inkjet. Pre-testing is recommended.

The pulp for this paper comes from FSC certified forest management and other controlled sources.

Adhesive 42E shows good tack and adhesion in combination with soft and clean removability from a wide variety of substrates. Especially on plastic surfaces like PP, PET, ABS 42E can be removed easily. 42E is also suitable for different cardboards and non-coated glass. The adhesive allows label application at a wide temperature range and it retains its removable properties even at low temperatures. 42E 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.
