Sappi: New portfolio of sustainable label papers

Sappi's Glassine and CCK papers offer good siliconisation properties as well as simple and efficient processing. They are used as a carrier material for various self-adhesive applications, such as for self-adhesive labels, visual communication, adhesive tapes and self-adhesive office supplies.

Just in time for Labelexpo, Sappi is presenting two new CCK papers that expand the Sol product family. With Sol BCK, Sappi is presenting a backing paper for graphic, industrial and adhesive tape applications. Compared to the commonly used PCK-based (Polyethylene Coated Kraft) papers, the backing paper promises a significantly improved CO₂-balance due to the elimination of the usual plastic coating, The result is greater recyclability due to the saving of plastic material and considerable cost savings.

The new Parade Label SG face stock paper with good printing and finishing properties will also be on show. As One-side coated, semi-glossy paper for self-adhesive labels it scores with its excellent printability, opacity and rigidity as well as its good further processing options. It is therefore suitable as a self-adhesive label for primary products, general packaging, transport packaging, disposable bottles and containers.

Sappi will also be showcasing its Parade Label Pro non-wet-strength wet-glue label paper. The glossy label paper, which is double-coated on one side, is characterised by a particularly smooth surface and a high degree of whiteness and achieves outstanding printing and finishing results. This paper was developed for high-quality labelling in the food, beverage and consumer goods industries and achieves an unmistakable visual impact and brand differentiation at the point of sale. Parade Label Pro is produced at Sappi's Alfeld plant in Germany and Gratkorn plant in Austria in rolls and sheets with grammages of 80, 90, 100, 110 and 120 g/m².
