UPM Raflatac adds Laserplus Fit

UPM Raflatac has introduced Laserplus Fit PEFC RP A2 KS55, a new roll-to-sheet labelstock designed to deliver optimized performance and sustainability into office and A4 logistics applications.

UPM Raflatac said its customers have reported ‘excellent performance’ in high-speed conversion with the labelstock, particularly during matrix stripping.

The thinner and lighter Laserplus Fit label face offers increased efficiency for both label converters and brand owners, with converters able to move to longer reel lengths and end users benefitting from using less material, UPM Raflatac said. Further, good die-cutting characteristics provide clean and sharp label edges, and the new product shows optimal lay-flat properties in typical cut-size formats.

PEFC chain of custody certification verifies that the wood fibers of the Laserplus Fit PEFC face material are sourced from responsibly managed forests.

Laserplus Fit PEFC RP A2 KS55 replaces Laserplus PEFC RP A4 KS55 for labeling end uses such as shipping, routing and tracking.

Based on UPM Raflatac’s comprehensive lifecycle assessments, switching from Laserplus PEFC RP A4 KS55 to Laserplus Fit PEFC RP A2 KS55 reduces carbon emissions by eight percent, energy consumption by six percent and water consumption by eight percent.
