In the world of label manufacturing, the materials used to constitute the label are of utmost importance. One such material that has revolutionized the industry is glassine coated paper. Acting as the backbone of any ‘peel and stick’ label, glassine coated paper often doesn’t get the recognition it so truly deserves.
For those unfamiliar, glassine is a smooth, very lightly glossed paper that is air, water, and grease-resistant. It is also transparent to semi-transparent, hence providing a special aesthetic appeal. Once coated with silicone, it becomes an excellent carrier for adhesive labels.
Why is it so popular among label manufacturers?
The glassine coated paper, when coupled with adhesive, allows labels to be easily peeled off, thus making packaging a less strenuous task. Ease and efficiency take center stage with the use of glassine coated paper.
Another key advantage is its cost-effectiveness. Glassine coated paper, while rendering superior performance, remains reasonably priced, enabling label manufacturers like us to keep costs down while maintaining quality. Plus, the translucency offered by glassine adds another dimension to the design possibilities, giving freer rein to creativity.
Moreover, a lesser-known fact about glassine coated paper is its environmental impact. Glassine paper is biodegradable, and the coating process doesn’t involve any harmful chemicals.
Therefore, by choosing to use this material, manufacturers show their commitment to environmental sustainability.
