Label-Within-Label Embodies Print Flexibility

Avery Dennison Roll Materials Europe has claimed to have added another dimension to the function of the self-adhesive laminate.

Avery Dennison Roll Materials Europe has claimed to have added another dimension to the function of the self-adhesive laminate.

The company's 'label within a label' constructions have been augmented by a new Fasson Piggyback Copyback product, which is claimed to be optimised for digital print on the top label.

Fasson Piggyback LCJ Flex Copyback has a multi-layer label construction and is developed to meet the needs of end-use markets where there is a need for colour print on the top label layer, but a run length insufficient to justify conventional print, said Avery Dennison.

Alternatively, the laminate can be pre-printed by conventional flexo, letterpress or offset, and subsequently overprinted with any of the desktop digital print processes plus dot matrix, which is needed to create an image on the second label layer underneath, added the company.

Fasson Piggyback LCJ Flex Copyback's top label layer is a white, TCF, matt, woodfree paper compatible with all print processes, but particularly colour and monochrome inkjet printers, laser printers, and copiers.

The second label layer is Fasson Copyback, a one-side siliconised PE-coated self-copying paper, which is said to give good imaging results with dot matrix print.

Both label layers are coated with Fasson S692N adhesive, a permanent acrylic emulsion adhesive with a minimum application temperature requirement of +5 degrees C.

The adhesive's service temperature range of -20 degrees C to +80 degrees C, is claimed to make the laminate suitable for use in warm or cool conditions and on pre-packed foods for freezer storage after labelling.

It is also said to withstand temperatures of +100 degrees C for up to one hour.

Fasson S692N has BfR approval for direct food contact on dry, moist, non-fatty and non-alcoholic foodstuffs.

Completing the laminate is Fasson BG40 Brown super-calendered siliconised glassine release liner, which offers high tensile strength for smooth die-cutting, converting and label dispensing, said Avery Dennison.

Fasson Piggyback LCJ Flex Copyback joins the established range of Fasson 'label within a label' constructions - both self-copying laminates and simple non-self-copying multi-layer labels.

All the core facepapers in the Fasson range are available as the label layers, combined with a multi-purpose permanent adhesive, Vellum Extra, MC Primecoat, Fasson Coat, and HGW Premium, with a choice of backings for the second label layer, added the company.
