  • 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

Plastic-Alternative Labelstocks Direct Thermal Type

Responding to demand for deplasticization

Plastic-Alternative Labelstocks
Direct Thermal Type

This is a direct thermal type in the PLALESS Series of plastic-alternative labelstocks. Despite being a paper material, it has excellent water resistance and contributes to environmental friendliness.

Features

  • Environmentally Friendly Plastic-Alternative Labelstocks

    The use of water-resistant paper instead of film as the facestock helps to respond to demand for deplasticization.

    Environmentally Friendly Plastic-Alternative Labelstocks
  • Meets Requirements for Direct Thermal Printing

    Thermal paper labelstock for printing on direct thermal printers.

    Meets Requirements for Direct Thermal Printing
  • Excellent water-resistant strength

    Although it is made of paper material, it is resistant to tearing even when wet,
    and printed information can be read even if it has been rubbed when wet.

    Excellent water-resistant strength
  • Superior microwave resistance

    It hardly develops any color when heated in a microwave oven, and wrinkling is suppressed.

    Superior microwave resistance
  • Uses Emulsion Adhesive for Frozen Foods

    Adhesive for frozen foods is used to prevent peeling even in low-temperature environments or on condensation-covered surfaces.
