‘We are delighted to introduce two new label solutions for food use to our customers,’ said Senta Becker, global product manager of label printing at the Felix Schoeller Group. ‘Both products are free of harmful substances and FSC-certified.’

In addition to its food suitability, the new PrimePaper F005 is also compostable according to DIN EN13432 and therefore harmless for direct contact with food. It can be printed in gravure and flexo and is available in 60- and 80-grams versions.

PrimePaper F026 is available in the same grammages. It is the new inkjet printable Facestock product that complements the broad portfolio of coated papers that the FSG has developed specifically for inkjet printing. It is suitable for individualized labels with smaller batch sizes.
