NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / September 10, 2024 / As a global leader in comprehensive solutions, Sappi delivers renewable, premium-quality products that converters, printers, brand owners as well as label and packaging designers worldwide have come to rely on. This makes Sappi a must-see at this year's Labelexpo Americas, the largest dedicated label and package printing event in the country. Demonstrating its commitment to the market, Sappi will showcase its extensive portfolio of innovative face stock label papers, wet glue label papers, CCK papers and glassine papers, among many other exciting offerings.

Sol BCK: a release liner with a greatly improved carbon footprint

Visitors to Sappi's stand will have an opportunity to experience Sol BCK - a release liner for visual communication and industrial applications as well as for adhesive tape products. Developed specifically for the American market, the release liner delivers a greatly improved carbon footprint by eliminating plastic coating, improved recyclability by saving plastic material as well as significant cost savings - compared to commonly used PCK-based (Polyethylene Coated Kraft) release liners. Sol BCK offers real advantages over PCK by reducing the CO₂ footprint by more than 50 per cent as well as significantly better recyclability by avoiding the use of plastic PE.

Many other solutions will also be on display at the trade fair, such as Sappi's Glassine and CCK silicone base papers which offer exceptional siliconization properties as well as easy and efficient processing. They are used as release liners for applications such as self-adhesive labels, visual communication applications, adhesive tapes and office supplies.

Outstanding label papers for self-adhesive applications

Also on show in Chicago are Sappi's outstanding label papers including its Parade Face Semi Gloss for self-adhesive labels, formerly known as Parade Label SG. The face stock paper boasts first-class printing and finishing properties. The one-side coated, semi-gloss paper for self-adhesive label applications excels with its outstanding printability, opacity and stiffness, as well as its excellent further processing capabilities. Produced at Sappi's Gratkorn mill, it is ideally suited for applications such as prime product labelling, general packaging, transport packaging, disposable bottles and containers.
