Features

  • 2.0 mil matte topcoated clear polyester provides consistent surface smoothness, excellent dimensional stability and endurance to varying temperatures
  • Matte topcoated film designed for cross-technology printability via narrow-format UV inkjet, impact, laser, electron beam, wax, resin and wax/resin thermal transfer (we recommend evaluating the intended ribbon and ink system for compatibility with the product under the application conditions)
  • Unique matte topcoat allows for greater than four times as many die revolutions before retooling compared with competing label materials
  • Permanent acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive bonds well to low- and high-surface energy plastics, painted metal, powder-coated paint, polycarbonate and fiberglass
  • High shear and high peel adhesive resists cold flow and oozing
  • Backed with a 50 lb. bleached kraft release liner ideal for roll-form converting
  • Liner is suitable for optical sensing on most thermal transfer printers

Additional Details

All narrow-format UV inkjet systems are different; therefore, we recommend "fit-for-use" testing.For laser diecutability, please check with your equipment manufacturer.
