Application and use

The glossy surface of HERMA PE white with its corona pretreatment offers an excellent print quality in conventional printing techniques. Before printing we recommend to freshen up the corona pretreatment.

HERMA PE white is perfect for the production of optically pretentious, glossy and opaque labels. For recycling reasons these labels are preferably used on PE surfaces.

Thanks to the high flexibility of this PE film even curved surfaces may be labelled without any problems as well as squeezable packaging.

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.

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