Digital printing labelstocks

Supports various printing methods

Digital printing labelstocks

We introduce labelstocks that have passed printing tests using various digital label printers. Labelstocks can be selected according to the color and texture of the facestock, type of adhesive, and other attributes to suit the application.

Labelstocks FH6022-80 and FH6026-80, Compliant with BS5609 label standard for marine transportation

Certified to British Standard BS5609, this labelstock has strong adhesive strength even in seawater, and the text is resistant to erasing even when rubbed off by gravel.

What is BS5609, the label standard for marine transportation?

An international standard for the durability of labels applied to hazardous goods handled at sea, set by the British Standards Institution. It is already widely accepted in Europe and the U.S., and is expected to be applied in asia and other regions in the future. Certification under this standard is divided into two parts: Section 2, which relates to the adhesive strength etc. of the labelstock, and Section 3, which relates to the abrasion resistance of the printing. Both FH6022-80 and FH6026-80 have acquired section 2 certification, which is an assessment of the labelstock before printing. In addition, FH6022-80 has also received section 3 certification, a rating as a printed label when used with special laser printers.

Abrasion resistance (BS5609 Compliant)

It has excellent abrasion resistance, so text does not erase easily even when rubbed against seawater or gravel.

Rubbing resistance: Evaluates the degree of ink removal when the printed image is rubbed with a fingernail. Superior 5>4>3>2>1 Inferior

Storability: A solid part after printing was left in environments of 70°C dry and 50°C 95% RH for 7 days, and then its appearance was evaluated visually.

Water resistance: A solid part after printing was soaked in water for 1 day, then dried, and then its appearance was evaluated visually (23°C, 50%RH).

Commercial digital printing labelstocks (water-resistant paper)

The use of paper with excellent water resistance as a substitute for film as the facestock contributes to meeting the demand for deplasticization.
