Avery Dennison has introduced a versatile high-gloss white PP label film that can be used in multiple film label markets, including food and health and beauty products, as well as lubricants and household cleaning products. It is said that this is the first general-purpose high-gloss white PP film in the label market, and PP Light Top White is a biaxially stretch blown high-gloss polypropylene film coated with a direct-printable coating and a thinner film. Materials, make it more cost-effective and competitive.
The 51-micron-thick PP Light Top White film brings many benefits to processors and end users. Its dimensional stability ensures that the best quality is achieved under all conventional printing process conditions. Other aspects of on-machine performance include accurate overprinting and stable die-cut quality with an opacity greater than 80%, corresponding to a film thickness of 60 microns.
The length is 50% longer than the 60-micron-thick PP roll stock, the standard roll length is 3000 meters, and the roll diameter only increases by 17%. This has the advantage of reducing the number of material changes and print downtime. Thinner films can also save additional costs, allowing more labels to be produced per roll of material while reducing weight, whether it is the weight of the container (helping to reduce packaging waste) or the weight of the shipment.
The biaxially-stretched Fasson PP Light Top White facestock and the Fasson BG40 White Glassine liner also ensure accurate labeling performance. The PP Light Top White facestock uses a versatile Fasson S692N Acrylic Adhesive, which meets European food regulations and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 175.105 standards and is recommended by the German Risk Assessment Agency (BFR) Can be in direct contact with dry and moist non-oil foods.
