  • Mono-material labelstocksAchievement of mono-materials with PET containers

    The key to efficient recycling was to use mono-material for the container and to provide ink removal functionality during the washing process.

  • Plastic-alternative labelstocksA big step toward a sustainable society with PLALESS

    A product born from the fusion of water-resistant paper and adhesive technology that meets the demand for plastic-free products

Facestock

Facestock

Facestocks are broadly classified into paper and film, and are treated with various types of coatings for printing. Depending on the application, usage environment, design potential, and other factors, it is possible to select a facestock that meets the requirements in terms of color, texture, heat resistance, water resistance, and other attributes.
Other than paper and film, we also offer a lineup of facestocks such as non-woven fabrics, cloth, and aluminum.

Paper-based materials

Paper is cost effective and especially suited for printing and writing on, and is used for a variety of circumstances including logistics and food labeling.

Woodfree paper This is the most commonly used paper type. It is made entirely from chemical pulp. It is suitable for printing, writing, and stamping, and is used for many purposes.
Semi-gloss/semi-matt coated paper Paper coated with white pigment on the surface of woodfree paper. Ideal for high-end label applications.
Gloss paper Paper coated with white pigment on the surface of woodfree paper. Also called cast-coated paper, its glossy whiteness and color development provide a luxurious printing effect.
Metallic paper Paper laminated with metallic foil such as aluminum foil. Used for gorgeous gift labels, etc.
Colored paper This paper is available in an attractively wide variety of colors. In addition to the common colored types, there are also high-grade Japanese papers.
Specialty paper These papers have various special functions. We also offer papers with characteristic textures.
Variable information printing paper These are labelstocks for variable information printing that can be used in a wide range of printer output methods and label environments, from barcode and logistics labels to materials compatible with high-definition printers.
The lineup is available as the LVIP Series.

Film-based materials

Film offers various properties that are not possible with paper, such as resistance to weather, chemicals, or heat.

Polyester (PET) film Excellent properties in terms of mechanical strength, heat resistance, smoothness, etc. In addition to white and clear types, there are matt, metalized, and hairline texture finished types.
Vinyl chloride (PVC) film This film is characterized by excellent weather resistance and minimal fading due to sunlight. Also known as vinyl chloride or polyvinyl chloride, and is commonly referred to as "PVC".
Synthetic paper A generic term for paper-like film made mainly from synthetic resins. It combines the characteristics of paper with those of plastic. Each product has various characteristics, including printability and writability, and is used in a wide range of applications.
Polypropylene (PP) film This film has excellent water resistance and transparency. In addition to transparent and white types, matt and vapor deposition types are also available.
Polyethylene (PE) film Polyethylene is used in a wide range of applications because of its ease of molding.
It is available in white and transparent types, with characteristics such as water resistance and curved surface conformability.
Polystyrene (PS) film Polystyrene has excellent moldability and is widely used for daily commodities and office automation equipment parts.
Polystyrene-based labels are ideal for recycling as a same-surface material.
ABS (Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) film ABS is often used for home appliances due to its excellent durability and heat resistance. Labels based on ABS are ideal for recycling as they are same-surface material.
Variable information printing films The LVIP Series is a lineup of variable information printing labelstocks used in a wide range of fields, including nameplate labels, shelf displays, and food, medical, and industrial applications.
