Polyart introduces innovative durable paper for tags and labels

Polyart, one of the leading specialty coating and film manufacturers, has introduced Fiberskin Tag, an innovative 100 percent paper material boasting exceptional tear resistance and water resistance, courtesy of its specialized coating.

Fiberskin Tag also exhibits robust mechanical properties even in humid conditions.

This paper is not only suitable for food contact, but is also recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable. It complies with food certifications BFR XXXVI and DGCCRF, and with packaging regulations, specifically those governing cellulose nets for fruit and vegetable packaging (in accordance with the anti-waste AGEC law for a Circular Economy).

This paper is FSC certified (FSC C195593) and is a valuable alternative to plastic when such substitution is essential.

Featuring a one-sided coating, it is suitable for 4-color printing on both sides using flexo and offset, as well as single-side thermal transfer printing. Its versatility extends to easy conversion using standard equipment, mirroring the behavior of traditional paper and board during the conversion process.

This paper finds its niche in various tags and labels applications, including bands for fruit and vegetables, nets for fruit and vegetables (wineglass labels), food labels in cold and refrigerated environments, wristbands for amusement parks and nursery tags.

Fiberskin Tag is available coated one side in 135 gsm and 185 gsm versions, and uncoated at 90 gsm and 220 gsm.
