3M™ Computer-Imprintable Polyester Label Material 7880HL is a durable, high performance material that offers excellent thermal stability, moisture resistance and chemical resistance
Labels Designed Specifically for Dot Matrix Printing Applications
Featuring a range of topcoated facestocks, adhesives and liners, 3M™ Dot Matrix Label Materials are designed for dot matrix/impact and other computer imprinting applications. A choice of polyester, polypropylene and semi-rigid vinyl facestocks allows for just the right blend of durability and conformability. These coated facestocks accept a wide variety of flexographic and U.V. rotary letter press film inks as well as screen, ion deposition, offset and thermal transfer printing, and most allow for hand writeability in ball point pen ink. Adhesives are formulated for general-purpose labeling as well as a range of demanding environments including acid-resistant labels and labeling in low temperatures.
A range of kraft liners includes supercalendered, clay coated and polycoated for strength and stability during high-speed die-cutting and matrix stripping, perforations and fanfolds.
