Application and use

Thanks to its special surface treatment the glossy surface of HERMA PP white extra tc offers an excellent printing quality in all conventional printing methods like e.g. UV flexographic printing.

In combination with the appropriate adhesive, this product is perfect for applications where the removability of the label is required.

This film is not intended for use in unprinted zigzag applications, in which the coated print surface is in contact with itself.

HERMA PP white extra tc is perfect for the production of optically demanding, glossy, non-transparent labels. For recycling reasons these labels are preferably used on PP surfaces. The nacreous look of the film adds an exquisite touch to the labels.

HERMA PP white extra tc is particularly suitable for labelling cosmetic products, cleaning agents etc., as well as for applications demanding resistance to chemicals or weather.

The adhesive 62Gpo is a coloured adhesive with very high opacity. By the use of the innovative 2-layer-technology a very high tack even on moist and very cold surfaces can be reached. 62Gpo suits particularly well for labelling of polar and non-polar surfaces such as plastic containers, packaging films and plastic bottles, but also on cardboard and other packaging materials. Less suitable for strongly curved surfaces or tight radii.Based on the very high opacity 62Gpo is typically to correct the information, to translate country-specific changes or to avoid read errors e.g. for oversticking barcodes.

Once labelled the adhesive is highly waterproof.

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