Chemical Resistance

Chemical Resistance

Chemical resistance is the resistance level of the label to certain chemical substances

Clear PP Labels

Clear polypropylene, often referred to as “clear PP,” is a type of label material made from polypropylene, which is a thermoplastic polymer.
Clear PP labels are transparent or translucent, allowing for a see-through effect on the label, which can be useful for various labelling applications.
This has several advantages over other transparent plastics, such as PET and clear HIPS. It is more durable, heat-resistant, and chemical-resistant. It is also recyclable in some parts.
Yenom Crystal clear BOPP is compliant US FDA 21 CFR 175.105 (Adhesive) for food packaging & food processing as well as ECC 88/378/EEC, CEN EN71, PART 3.
However due to the glassine liner there is sometimes a grainy appearance when applied to glass. For a true “no label look” we recommend a clear-on-clear label stock.

Coated Paper

Coated Paper is paper that has been coated on the surface

Coated Side In (CSI)

Coated Side In means the inked side of a thermal transfer ribbon is facing inside. When using CSI ribbons, set up the ribbon properly so that it unrolls from the top. To tell where the inked side is, simply look for the matt side of the ribbon.

Coated Side Out (CSO)

Coated Side Out (CSO) means the inked side of a thermal transfer ribbon is facing outside. When using CSO ribbons, set up the ribbon properly so that it unrolls from the bottom. To tell where the inked side is, simply look for the matt side of the ribbon.

Coating

The coating is a material or a substance used to cover surfaces conducive for decoration and/or protection from harsh environmental conditions. It also provides a printable surface

Colour matching

Colour matching in label printing refers to the process of accurately reproducing a specific colour on a printed label. Colour matching is important to ensure consistency and accuracy across different label runs, as well as to achieve the desired visual appearance for the label design.

Colour matching involves several steps, including selecting the appropriate ink colours, adjusting ink formulation and printing parameters, and fine-tuning the printing process to achieve the desired colour. The process requires careful calibration of the printing equipment, including colour management software, to ensure that the final printed label accurately matches the intended colour.

Colour matching can be a complex process, particularly when it involves matching specific brand colours or Pantone colours. Brand owners and designers may provide specific colour standards, such as Pantone colour codes, to ensure that the label colour accurately represents their brand identity.

Various factors can influence colour matching, including the type of substrate, printing method, and ink formulation. Environmental factors, such as lighting conditions and humidity, can also affect colour perception and must be carefully controlled during the colour matching process.

Colour matching is an essential part of the label printing process and requires the expertise of skilled professionals to achieve accurate and consistent results. The use of advanced colour management technology and colour measurement tools, such as spectrophotometers, can help ensure precise colour matching and provide valuable data for process control and quality assurance.

Continuous Label Rolls

Continuous Label Rolls are labels in one long strip and are not cut to size. If a printer has a cutter installed, it can cut individual labels to the desired size

Core Size

Core Size is the diameter inside of the core, usually made from cardboard. Our standard core sizes are 26mm, 41mm, and 76mm

Corner Radius

Corner Radius is the curvature of the corners of a die-cut label
