UPM Raflatac extends health and beauty film range

UPM Raflatac has launched Raflex Plus Clear – the latest addition to the company’s Raflex Plus film product offering. With its transparency and thinness, the non-top-coated film is said to be suited to the demanding health and beauty market.

Raflex Plus Clear also provides advantages for participants in the labelstock value chain, says the company. ‘Label converters will find that this clear film offers improved cold foil stamping performance and superior on-press registration, and it supports solvent gravure, rotary screen, UV letterpress and UV flexo printing methods, among others.’ When paired with RP37, UPM Raflatac’s water-based emulsion adhesive for films and a 1.2 mil PET liner, Raflex Plus Clear also delivers ‘trouble-free’ die-cutting and dispensing.

Brand owners benefit by working with a product that is known for its no-label look, showcasing colorful graphics and lettering, while providing conformability and squeezability.

‘Raflex Plus Clear offers several advantages, including appearance, performance and productivity, for health and beauty end-uses,’ said Patrick Goss, prime business director, Americas, UPM Raflatac. ‘This innovative clear film combines the best properties of PP and PE films in a single product.’
