Raflatac rolls into film labelstock production

Raflatac has begun film labelstock production at the company’s state-of-the-art facility in Fletcher, North Carolina. PS film consumption is currently estimated to be growing at twice the rate of PS paper and Raflatac is building upon the company’s two-year local manufacturing expertise by introducing a range of PS films that ensure label converters are meeting heightened globablized standards.

Kari Virtanen, Raflatac’s North American business development manager
for films says: ‘We’re able to offer the same consistent product around the globe due to our extensive expertise in film labelstock. We’ve made a commitment to strengthen our position in the North American film market, and we will continue to evaluate our product portfolio and find ways to offer a wider range of value added solutions to our customers.’

‘Raflatac has carried out an extensive research and development program targeting the introduction of a fully squeezable film into the North American market. It has been a long process, but after allocating our global resources to the project, the end result looks promising.’
