Zanders extends Zanlabel range

Going forward, Zanders, a specialist manufacturer of label papers, will market one-side double-coated label papers under the name of Zanlabel gloss, and supplemented by label papers with a linen embossing. This will be augmented by Zanlabel touch, and which is available with vergé and linen embossing.

‘Our new label paper has excellent finishing properties as a result of its special surface treatment,’ said John Tucker, managing director at Zanders. ‘We specifically developed Zanlabel touch for beer, wine and spirits labels that are intended to underline the product’s naturalness, individuality, craftsmanship or authenticity. Craft beer brewers, wine and spirit makers can use Zanlabel touch to give their products a look that reflects their positioning.’

Uncoated Zanlabel touch label paper is available in 80gsm and 90gsm, in sheets and reels, and like the entire Zanlabel range, is manufactured from FSC-certified, sustainable cellulose. Being a wet strength label paper, it is suitable for returnable bottles, yet it delivers excellent quality print, hot foil and blind embossing results, running and punching properties.

Zanlabel gloss is double coated on one side and available in non-wet strength, light wet strength  and wet strength versions in weights from 70-100gsm. It meets the requirements of the packaging industry and is ideal for numerous applications such as wet glue labels for disposable, returnable and PET bottles, food and non-food container labels and sleeves. Zanlabel gloss has a smooth surface that delivers excellent printing results with maximum ink gloss, Zanders said.

Zanlabel gloss with linen embossing is a brand new product from Zanders for the brewing industry’s returnable bottles and other applications. The linen embossing adds a non-slip finish to beer and other bottle labels, and it differs from smooth label papers in terms of its textured surface. ‘Zanlabel gloss with linen embossing ensures excellent running properties in printing, processing, embossing and punching, and it is also ideal for cold and hot foil embossing,’ added Tucker.
