Herma launches perfectCut 62Dpc

Herma claims to have enhanced dependability in the production and subsequent use of copier/laser labels with its new HermaperfectCut 62Dpc adhesive.

The adhesive is said to prevent bleeding over the die-cut edges during label conversion. Even if they do not have a safety margin, labels produced with this adhesive can be processed smoothly by all copiers and printers.

With Herma's multi-layer technology, a specially formulated second layer is applied at the same time as the adhesive to achieve ‘outstanding cohesion (inner strength) without exposing the user to any compromises with regards to high initial tack and outstanding final adhesion’. The adhesive has been certified by the German institute ISEGA for direct contact with fatty foodstuffs.

The new 62Dpc adhesive supersedes the 62D adhesive that has previously been used for copier/laser applications. ‘We are not promoting a new special adhesive, but a proven multi-purpose adhesive which, in combination with the new second layer, offers value-added to converters and users alike,’ explained Herma managing director Dr. Thomas Baumgärtner. ‘The change will enable our customers to benefit from significant product enhancements and a full service offering – for an unchanged price.’

‘With the use of the HermaperfectCut 62Dpc adhesive, we are improving not only convertibility, but also the functionality of the end-product,’ said Baumgärtner. ‘In a laser printer, the sheet of labels is usually given a hard time by deflection rollers.’ When a conventional standard adhesive is applied up to the edge of the sheet, minute traces can be transferred to the roller – especially upon exposure to temperatures of up to 200 degrees Celsius that can arise in printers. Over time, such contamination impairs straight sheet feeding and the proper passage of the sheet through the printer. ‘For this reason, it is essential to use an adhesive that does not escape at the die-cut edges but still offers users the good adhesive properties to which they are accustomed,’ commented Baumgärtner. ‘Starting now, the HermaperfectCut 62Dpc adhesive rules out the need for compromises.’
