Application and use

The semi-gloss coated surface of HERMApharm G offers an excellent quality of the imprint with all conventional printing methods.

Thanks to its high degree of suppleness HERMApharm G is eminently suitable for labelling circular items such as ampoules.

The high opacity of this label paper ensures a good coverage.

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

Thanks to its aggressive adhesive characteristics adhesive 63B is particularly suitable for critical surfaces such as cardboard and ampoules. The adhesive is highly water-resistant and is suitable for labelling cold and humid surfaces. It is extremely resistant to light, heat and ageing.

 

Typical uses for this biaxially stretched polyester film are high-speed labelling machines with optical or mechanical scanning.
