Environmentally friendly labelstocks

In October 2009, Japan's Association for Electric Home Appliances released
"Guidelines for Labeling and Recycling Marks for Plastic and Other Components of Home Appliances".

This is intended to promote recycling and reuse of products and improve workability in the recycling process
by recommending that labels attached to consumer electronics also indicate the material of the labelstock.

We have an extensive lineup of labels made of the same materials as the target adherend, as well as removable labels, etc., to suit each application.

Example: When polyester film is used >PET< When indicating the material on the label, the indication method differs depending on the material used.

1. When synthetic paper is used

There are many different types of synthetic paper, but our YUPO labelstocks are ">PP<".

2. When over-laminate film is used

If the over-laminate film is made of a different material than the labelstock, both materials are indicated, such as ">PP, PET<". Also, the main materials are underlined.

3. When paper facestocks are used

When using labels with paper materials such as woodfree paper, coated paper, or coated paper with gloss, "-paper-", "-p-", or "-紙-" ("paper" in Japanese) is indicated.

For the material indications of each product, please refer to product search.

Effective use of resources is required in various industries, and inability to remove labels from products hinders the reuse and recycling of resources.
