UPM expands range of top coated labels
PP White FTC 60 is a multipurpose top-coated film designed for labeling applications on rigid packaging where good water, chemical, and oil resistance is required. The Vanish range of ultra-thin face materials makes it possible to create intricate food label designs on rigid plastic and glass packaging. The company further claims that compared to other clear-film solutions, Vanish face material uses less raw material, making it a more economical and sustainable choice.
 
Jay Betton, labeling solutions manager, Wine and Spirits, Food at UPM Raflatac EMEIA, said: ‘We are proud to be able to offer our customers a wide choice of food-safe labeling options. Our products are supported by Declarations of Compliance, and all our production units in Europe have a food safety management system that complies with the ISO 22000 food safety standard. Safety or compliance incidents that result in product recalls have huge implications for customers in the food supply chain. By choosing UPM Raflatac products, our customers can avoid putting consumers, their brand, and their customers' brands at risk.’
