Raflatac introduces improved Direct Thermal ECO labelstock

6/5/2002

Raflatac introduces its improved Direct Thermal ECO pressure sensitive labelstock, now offering the label printer an economic substrate that provides improved print resolution for high-speed printers, even at low energy.

This 6.2 mil material construction combines a non-top coated, non- smudgeproof facestock with Raflatac's trademark RP51 permanent adhesive and a 2.5 mil kraft liner. Direct Thermal ECO offers an economic thermal paper option with standard sensitivity for short-life labels and labeling in dry environments. Raflatac's new generation of Direct Thermal ECO labelstock is ideal for applications such as retail, point-of-sale, warehousing, dispatch labels, deli and dry corrugated box labeling applications.

Raflatac's proprietary RP51 permanent adhesive offers excellent UV resistance, strong low-temperature performance and excellent adhesion characteristics to non-polar substrates. Direct Thermal ECO is suitable for a wide range of print processes including water-based flexo, offset, screen and UV letterpress.

Direct Thermal ECO is a universal, thermal economy product compatible with all thermal printers, at all running speeds. High-energy printing doesn't smear the printed image, while low energy printing produces high contrast and excellent resolution.

The latest advancements in Raflatac's proprietary coating technology make Direct Thermal ECO the optimum choice for information labeling in dry environments.
