As part of its sustainability programme, UPM Raflatac has replaced its Raflacoat Plus label paper for prime product labelling with PEFC Raflacoat Plus in all applications.
PEFC Raflacoat Plus retains the same “exceptional” mid-gloss standards, with high opacity and contrast supporting fine print detail for branding and product decoration, and is also available with the thin and recyclable ProLiner PP30 backing.
The move is a result of UPM Raflatac’s commitment to source paper products from sustainably managed forests.
As part of an on-going process to widen the forest certified paper labelstock offer in Europe, UPM Raflatac has also introduced PEFC Raflacoat Opti as a cost-efficient option for printing digitally with HP Indigo, and the FSC-certified phenol-free thermal papers Thermal Eco BPAF FMC and Thermal Eco TPF FMC.
The new FSC-certified label faces Fleur de Coton White WSA FMC and Fleur de Coton Ivoire WSA FMC offer a high-quality textured look for wine labelling.
UPM Raflatac’s chain of custody system tracks certified material from the forest to the final labelstock product, and provides third-party verification that the wood used in label materials originates from responsibly managed forests.
UPM promotes all credible forest certification systems including the two major international schemes: FSC, the Forest Stewardship Council, and PEFC, the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes.
Part of UPM’s Engineered Materials business group, UPM Raflatac is one of the world’s leading suppliers of self-adhesive label materials, with a global service network consisting of 14 factories on six continents and a broad network of sales offices and slitting and distribution terminals worldwide.
