Product recommendations

The PE range
Raflatac’s PE labelstock with the proprietary RP 37 adhesive provides just the right combina-tion of squeezability, convertibility and good environmental resistance, all in one.

The PP range
When a thinner material is required for use on rigid or semi-rigid containers, Rafl atac’s PP range has a lot to offer. White cavitated PP renders a pearlized effect.	PP Gloss Clear / RP 37 / HD70 PP Gloss Clear TC-3 / RP 37 / HD70 PP Gloss White / RP 37 / HD70 PP Gloss White TC-2 / RP 37 / HD75 PP Gloss White TC-3 / RP 37 / HD70 PP Silver TC 50 / RP 37 / HD75 PP Silver TC 50 / RP 37 / PET30
Raflex
This unique polyolefi n-based face material com-bines the best properties of PE and PP – good squeezability and conformability with exceptional register control and faultless die cutting and label dispensing. An ideal solution for personal care labelling.	Raflex Clear TC / RP 37 / HD70 Raflex White TC / RP 37 / HD70
The no-label look
When creating the no-label look, Raflaclear is the best choice for high-clarity packages. Better strength and stability from the polyester backing helps secure register control, facilitates the converting process and generates less waste.	PP Clear TC 50 / RP 37 / PET30
Matt films
In the fast-moving personal care industry, the matt look is part of the current trend. The materials in Rafl atac’s PE and PP matt range have been fine-tuned to blend into light to full-matt containers	PE Matt Transparent 80 / RP 37 / HD70 PE Matt Transparent TC 100 / RP 37 / HD75 PE Matt White TC 100 / RP 37 / HD75 PP Matt Transparent / RP 37 / HD75 PP Matt Transparent TC / RP 37 / HD70 PP Matt White / RP 37 / HD75
Thin films
Thin filmic faces are the perfect solution when overlamination is used to facilitate handling and converting or to protect the finish. Without overlamination, these low-caliper materials may also be a face of the future for the next-generation labelling lines.	PP Gloss Clear 30 / RP 37 / HD70 PP Gloss Clear 30 TC/ RP 37 / PET30 PP Gloss White 40 / RP 37 / HD70
Special application and effect films
The pressure sensitive label is the modern solution for tube labelling. With eye-catching looks and excellent technical properties, the advantages go well beyond savings in time and cost.
