Application and use

Thanks to its special surface treatment the matt surface of HERMA PP white matt tc offers an excellent printing quality in all conventional printing methods like e.g. UV flexographic printing. Furthermore the film is perfectly suited for subsequent printing with thermal transfer printers. Thanks to its matt surface it has a perfect barcode legibility.

 

HERMA PP white matt tc can be used for labelling cosmetics, cleaning agents, beverage and food products as well as for applications demanding resistance to chemicals or weather like e.g. in horticulture. For recycling reasons these labels are preferably used on PP surfaces.

The adhesive 62Xpc is specially developed for filmic face material. Through the use of 2-layer technology and ideally optimised layers, the conversion properties become excellent and the adhesion properties are above average. A good wettability combined with a high transparency of the adhesive layer give a visually appealing result. Once applied the adhesive is insensitive against humidity, soaps and oil and therefore suits specially well for product labelling in hygiene and cosmetic industry. It features good resistance to light, heat and aging.

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