Herma extends wine bottle product range

Herma has extended its range of self-adhesive materials for wine bottles, by adding HERMAfelt white and HERMAfelt high white wet strength, uncoated, textured papers with tactile feel.

Herma introduces HERMAfelt white and HERMAfelt high white papers

HERMAfelt high white requires no special coating and is claimed to provide high wet opacity. After a long time in an ice bucket, labels made from this material show no unsightly wet stains, maintaining their clean appearance.

Both materials can be printed on using flexo, offset and digital printing technologies.

After ice bucket tests in in-house laboratory, Herma confirms that the multi-layer adhesive 62W, developed for wine labels, ensures excellent adhesion even under moist conditions for both papers.

‘The 62W, a dispersion adhesive, offers a good alternative to traditional hotmelt adhesives,’ said Herma sales director Ralf Drache. ‘Massive adhesive bleed or very dirty tools are therefore now a thing of the past.’ The adhesive is ISEGA certified for direct contact with food.

HERMAexquisite portfolio now comprises a total of 27 products, including textured and moisture-resistant papers as well as coated papers, aluminium papers, and white or transparent films.
