optiFLEX® SQUEEZE™ PE38232 3.8 MIL PTP CLEAR MTE POLYETH,PERM ADH TRACRITE 150

Features & Benefits

  • 3.8 mil flexible clear matte polyethylene offers superior conformability and exceptional long-term performance without lifting, tunneling, or flagging
  • Clear matte film is designed to match gloss and surface smoothness of the container to achieve the "no-label-look"
  • Film is easy to process, offering excellent printability, diecuttability, and registration
  • Print-treated surface optimizes ink receptivity for most conventional and some UV inks printed via rotary screen, rotary letterpress and flexography, as well as hot stamping
  • Heavy coat weight of aggressive, permanent clear adhesive provides good tack, wet-out and ultimate adhesion, which prevents label from lifting
  • Backed with Flexcon® TracRite™ 150 polyester release liner for excellent on-press performance for tight registration graphics
  • Release liner provides a good diecutting base and allows for high-speed dispensing

Recommendations: "Fit-for-use" testing is recommended under actual application conditions.
