Always Full Speed Ahead, with tesa

From barcodes to holographic film labels, the times when labels served only to tell what a product was, and nothing more, are definitely long gone. Labels have become an important feature of marketing strategies and labor intensive packaging designs.

In label printing, quick and straight forward tape handling really matters so that plates can be easily replaced. Labels for modern-day packaging require complex print motifs – fine screen, exact barcode, fine color gradients, and solid areas. Labels must be produced in the highest quality on paper or film.

A specialized assortment with two different grades of foam hardness and various film-based qualities provides solutions for all plates. tesa offers a range of new products, with differentiated adhesive strengths, promoting damage-free demounting of thin plates.

The properties of the PE (polyethylene) foam in use have been optimized with thickness tolerance in mind – the foam has been neither thermally nor mechanically manipulated during production. The constant tape thickness supports consistent ink distribution. Set-up time is also reduced, especially important for repeat jobs.
