Application and use

HERMA PE white PRINT combines the high print quality of coated paper with the durability of PE films. With HERMA PE white PRINT an excellent print quality can be achieved in all traditional printing methods such as flexo, letterpress, screen and offset printing. Furthermore the film is perfectly suited for subsequent inscription with matrix or thermal transfer printers using resin or resin/wax ribbons. With special wax or solvent based inks also inkjet imprint is possible.

This white, matt PE film is perfect for permanent label application both indoor and outdoor. When labelling a PE surface the film may be recycled together with the packing.

Due to the reduced inner stability the film splits when removing it from the labelled surface. It is thus often used as a safety label.

Thanks to its extremely high adhesion, adhesive 65B is particularly suitable for labelling strongly curved, rough, dusty or oily surfaces. This makes 65B ideal for use on pallets, other wood-based materials, rough PE containers and uneven cardboard boxes. In combination with HERMAsilver matt reverse coated foil the adhesive is the excellent solution for labelling tyres or other rubber products. In spite of its high coating weight this newly designed adhesive offers excellent die-cutting characteristics. Adhesive 65B is particularly resistant to light, heat and ageing. The supercalendered glassine is perfectly suited for assignment in labelling machines equipped with optical or mechanical scanners.

Processing

Good die-cutting characteristics on all usual machines. As part of a self-adhesive compound HERMA PW (517) offers excellent die-cutting characteristics with all customary flatbed and rotary die-cutting tools.
