Innovia extends Rayoface facestock range

Rayoface VTT61, VTT81 and WTT92 are coated films that Innovia Films said easily meet the high demands and requirements of the durable label and variable data printing markets.

Innovia Films said the new products are ideal for producing labels across a broad spectrum of markets such as industrial chemicals, logistics and transport, consumer white goods, automotive parts, electronic components and tires.

Rayoface VTT61, VTT81 and WTT92 are said to offer ‘exceptional value through the conversion and the supply chain’, with a higher yield than their predecessors whilst maintaining or improving upon reported performance. 

Rayoface VTT (high yield, cavitated white) is available in thicknesses of 66 µm and 81µm (260-320 gauge) and Rayoface WTT (solid pigmented white) is available in a thickness of 92µm (360 gauge), for prime, durable label pressure-sensitive applications requiring thermal transfer printing.

In artificial UV exposure tests, the films’ new printable matte top coat was found to be durable for upwards of 75 percent longer and extensive thermal transfer print testing on a range of wax, resin and wax/resin ribbons found that ANSI Grade A and B barcode verification was achieved over a 10 degree C wider printhead temperature range.

Alasdair McEwen, Innovia Films product manager for labels, said: ‘Our new high performance Rayoface VTT and WTT films for variable information printing on durable labels, are technically advanced products that give real benefits throughout the supply chain.  

‘Their extended durability – as proven by our in-house testing – means they are perfectly suited for use in applications such as marine drum labeling, where BS5609 is the benchmark standard.’
