Application and use

The machine-finished surface of the HERMAwhite offers an excellent quality of the imprint with all conventional printing methods. The material is equally suitable for thermal transfer printing and is thus universally applicable. It is also perfect for laser printers.

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

Adhesive 41Upp is a microsphere based adhesive. Suitable for applications requiring medium tack combined with excellent removability. It is particularly suited for labelling smooth objects like books, glass or metals. However, adhesion of 41Upp might be too low on rough or curved surfaces. Adhesive 41Upp is unplasticized and features good resistance to light, temperature and ageing. Face material, shape of the label, service conditions and contact time may have an impact on removability profile. Tests of the printed label under actual application conditions are strongly recommended.

Typical areas of application for this coated kraft liner are computer labels for laser printers (continuous or sheet stock), which require higher stiffness.

Processing
