UPM introduces RafFruit Plus

UPM Raflatac has introduced RafFruit Plus, a new labelstock for labeling rough food produce like melons, pumpkins and squashes.

New label product ‘sets the benchmark’ for safe and reliable labeling on rough fruits

RafFruit Plus combines a foil backed paper label face with the RH 5F rubber hot-melt adhesive, which has a high coat-weight for secure adhesion to rough surfaces. The adhesive has been specially formulated for food safety.

UPM Raflatac said many other solutions for labeling rough fruits are exactly the same as those used for tire labeling, although RafFruit Plus is purpose-designed for fruits, and the adhesive formulation minimizes the risk of migration.

A declaration of conformity (DoC) meeting regulatory stipulations for food uses is available on request.
