Products for diverse applications
At Labelexpo Asia, UPM Raflatac will highlight innovative new products and services for home and personal care labelling and wine, tyre and other specialist applications, including:
– Raflex Plus, a thin and clear, top-coated polyolefin film that combines the best properties of PP and PE. At 56 microns, Raflex Plus offers good flexibility on squeezable packages. Exceptional printability for a fine print resolution makes this film ideal for high-quality product labels in home and personal care applications.
– Wine labelstock with a recyclable PET liner. With higher tensile strength than paper-based liners, film liners deliver better performance in high-speed applications and contribute to a reduction in web breaks and fewer roll changes due to their reduced caliper.
– An extensive product range for tyre labelling incorporates paper and film face materials in combination with UPM Raflatacs RH T adhesive, enabling label printers to meet brand owners requirements for cost-efficiency, performance and appearance.
