3M
Offers Two, New, Improved Destructible Vinyl Label Materials
for Better Processing
London, Ontario….They've
done it. 3M engineers have created a revolutionary destructible
label material that is ideal for many hard-to-bond-to surfaces,
such as low-surface-energy plastics. With its great strength,
this destructible vinyl label material can withstand high-speed
presses and can be used with a variety of die configurations,
too.
These new 3M 7613 and 7930 Destructible Vinyl
Label Materials overcome challenges faced when processing
destructible vinyl materials for tamper indication applications.
Fragile vinyls can be difficult to process, problematic to
overprint and subject to high material waste in the converting
process. 3M 7613 (roll) and 7930 (sheet) Destructible Vinyl
Label Materials help solve these problems with an improved
reliable fragile vinyl film that offers broad printing capabilities,
including thermal transfer.
The vinyl surface of 3M 7613 and 7930 Destructible
Vinyl Label Material has less shrinkage than typical vinyls,
reducing adhesive build-up on press rollers. In addition,
the smooth surface of the facestock material has fewer surface
aberrations that allow for more even ink coverage, consistent
printability and bar code readability. The reduced imperfections
in printed areas can also mean less material waste and fewer
interruptions in the converting process. Finally, these two
new products from 3M feature a more consistent caliper facestock
that allows for improved die cutting.
The products are available on a two mil fragile
vinyl film backed with 3M's 350 Premium Performance acrylic
adhesive for use on virtually any surface, including many
low-and high-surface-energy plastics and powder-coated materials.
The label materials also are engineered for excellent durability
under a variety of adverse conditions and extended outdoor
exposure.
This combination of broad printing capabilities,
processing efficiency and optimal destructibility makes 3M
7613 and 7930 Destructible Vinyl Label Materials ideal for
use in a wide variety of tamper-resistant applications. Application
ideas include warranty seals, safety warning labels, package
seals, calibration seals, licensing tags and asset labels
for use in the electronics, appliance, transportation, lawn
and garden equipment and small power tools categories.
3M offers a complete line of vinyl films and
specialty adhesives for a wide range of applications in the
appliance, chemical, printing, electronics, industrial medical,
pharmaceutical, photographic, plastics and transportation
markets.
