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.

The adhesive 62Gpo is a coloured adhesive with very high opacity. By the use of the innovative 2-layer-technology a very high tack even on moist and very cold surfaces can be reached. 62Gpo suits particularly well for labelling of polar and non-polar surfaces such as plastic containers, packaging films and plastic bottles, but also on cardboard and other packaging materials. Less suitable for strongly curved surfaces or tight radii.Based on the very high opacity 62Gpo is typically to correct the information, to translate country-specific changes or to avoid read errors e.g. for oversticking barcodes.

Once labelled the adhesive is highly waterproof.

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