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 42N is suitable for applications requiring medium tack combined with good removability. It is particularly suited for labelling surfaces like cardboard, PE-Films and steel. Removability may be impaired if applied on certain surface coated materials.Adhesive 42N features excellent resistance to light, heat and ageing.

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

Processing

Excellent die-cutting characteristics on all customary machines. As part of a self-adhesive compound HERMA KW (527) offers good die-cutting characteristics with all customary flatbed and rotary label cutters.
