UPM Raflatac will be supplying a wide range of materials including Polyjet gloss white PP, Polyjet gloss white PET, Jetcolor and Jetlaser printed with aqueous pigment inkjet and Premium Gloss UVI, White BOPP, Clear BOPP and Metallized BOPP printed with UV inkjet. 

‘Collaborating across the value chain with like-minded partners is one way in which we're labeling a smarter future,’ said Kirit Naik, director of global digital printing technologies at UPM Raflatac. ‘We are pleased to partner with Colordyne and Kao Collins to showcase our innovative and high-quality print on demand aqueous pigment and UV inkjet labeling solutions. Visit us at our booths to learn how we can work together to unlock your brand's potential.’
