Features

  • 3.5 mil flexible white vinyl provides excellent chemical resistance for drum labeling applications
  • The internal strength of the film facilitates removal during reconditioning
  • Printable via resin and wax/resin thermal transfer; UV & solvent screen; UV, solvent & water flexo; laser (toner); and narrow-format UV inkjet
  • Unique matte topcoat allows for greater than four times as many die revolutions before retooling compared with competing label materials
  • Matte filled topcoat allows for successful printing with a wider range of wax/resin ribbons
  • Topcoat provides excellent resistance to chemicals, moisture, smudging and scratching
  • Adhesive system is designed to bond well to painted steel, fiber and plastic drums
  • Product can be applied at low temperatures
  • High peel, high shear adhesive resists cold flow and oozing, gaining efficiencies in diecutting and dispensing
  • Fanfoldable 77 lb. layflat roll-to-sheet liner feeds well through most sheet-fed, continuous laser and thermal transfer printers
  • Release liner is ideal for cut sheet, fanfold and roll-to-sheet converting
