What This Product Does Better
Print quality a thermal label cannot match
High paper strength and high surface glossiness give a sharper printed image, which is why this stock is chosen when the label is seen by the customer, not just by a scanner.
Works with any printing method you have
Suitable for offset, flexo and thermal transfer ribbon printing, and equally for blank die-cut production, so one stock covers several jobs.
A stated one-year storage life
One year at 23 +/- 2 degrees C and 50 +/- 5 percent RH, so stock bought against a forecast is still good when the order lands.
Ribbon-ready
Designed for thermal transfer, so a wax resin ribbon gives a durable barcode on a glossy surface that a plain wax ribbon would scratch off.
What Goes Wrong Without It
- Direct thermal labels look cheap on a retail-facing pack and fade before the product sells through.
- A glossy label printed with a plain wax ribbon scuffs in transit and the barcode fails.
- Buying a separate stock for printed packaging labels and for blank barcode labels doubles the SKUs.
Where It Is Used
- Printed packaging and food labels
- Retail product and shelf labels
- Blank die-cut label production for barcode printing
- Thermal transfer shipping labels needing a gloss finish
- Promotional and multi-language pack labels
Who Buys This Item
Brand owners and food packers needing a printed label, converters producing blank die-cut stock, and distributors supplying retail label programmes.
How It Compares With the Alternatives
Against a direct thermal label of the same size, this coated art paper needs a ribbon but gives a longer image life and much better print quality, and it will not darken in a hot warehouse. Against a BOPP film label it is far cheaper but not waterproof, so it belongs on dry packaging rather than chilled or wet goods.
How It Is Made and Checked
Coating, printing, slitting and die-cutting run on more than 30 production lines across two factories, producing around one million square metres of material a week.
Ribbon coating workshop
The ZHIYE ribbon coating workshop. Coating and slitting in the same building means a ribbon width and ink side can be built to a customer's printer rather than picked from stock.
Ribbon slitting
Jumbo ribbon stock being slit to finished widths. 30 mm to 110 mm and 30 m to 900 m are all cut to order on the same line.
Coating line
Adhesive coating on the label laminate line. Controlling the coat weight here is what makes the published peel adhesion figures repeatable.
Certification. High-Tech Enterprise, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, SGS, RoHS, BPA Free, FSC. The company is certified as a High-Tech Enterprise and holds multiple patents including one invention patent. Documentation applicable to this item is supplied with the shipment on request.
Getting It Right on the First Roll
Print with a wax resin ribbon; the glossy top coat will scratch a plain wax print.
Apply above 10 degrees C and keep in service between -10 and +65 degrees C.
Store at 23 +/- 2 degrees C and 50 +/- 5 percent RH and use within one year.
For a mixed job, specify the same core and winding direction as your thermal stock so the printer setup does not change between runs.
What Can Be Changed to Order
Size and shape
Any size, and square, rectangle, round or oval dies. Ribbons are slit from 30 mm to 110 mm and 30 m to 900 m.
Material and adhesive
Paper, BOPP, PET and PE facestocks with hot melt, acrylic, removable or freezer adhesive.
Print and colour
CMYK, Pantone, full colour, transparent, gold and silver, by offset, flexo, screen, digital, inkjet or thermal transfer.
Core and winding
1 in, 1.5 in and 3 in label cores; 0.5 in and 1 in ribbon cores; piece counts and winding direction set to your printer.
Branding
Printed logo on the product, your design on the carton, or neutral packing with no supplier name.
Documentation
ISO 9001, ISO 14001, RoHS, SGS, FSC, BPA free and MSDS paperwork supplied where the product is covered.
