Description
Stickler Promatac White is a cadium free, monomeric PVC film. Produced with a high white gloss surface for excellent colour reproduction in both single and four-colour printing. Specially suitable for labels for outside use which need to be highly resistant to the weather and chemical agents.
Stickler Promatac White can be printed with a variety of print techniques from letterpress, flexo, offset and screen printing.
It is recommended to let printed graphics cure effectively for a full 72 hours before lamination and applying. This will help prevent edge-curling once it is applied. For graphics that are die-cut, it is recommended to leave 5mm of unprinted media all the way around the edge.
