Cosmo Films will showcase its latest range of films for the label industry at the upcoming Labelexpo Europe (Stand 5D05 Hall 5) from 24-27 September 2019 in Brussels, Belgium. The new films for labels are designed keeping the latest trends such as sustainability, transparency, premium finish substrates and personalization in mind. Here is the list of products:
Films for repositionable and removable label applications
These are polypropylene-based, both side coated PS labelstock films which offer excellent print receptivity with diverse ink systems. The films do not leave stains on the container if the labels need to be removed or repositioned. Designed in sync with sustainability initiatives, these down gauged films are available across all appearance varieties.
Matte coated PS labelstock films
These films have a unique top coating, which is compatible with eight different kinds of print media, namely UV flexo, water flexo, thermal transfer, letterpress, screen, HP Indigo, UV Inkjet and UV offset. These films go in 65 and 75 microns when used as PS labelstock material and in thicker microns (up to 500 micron) for non-pressure sensitive applications. They are mostly used in labeling of high-end personal care products, pharmaceuticals and drum labeling.
Transparent in-mould label film
These films on display have been specifically designed to offer in-mould label customers requiring no label look and high transparency for their labels. They offer high gloss on both sides and can be easily printed using off-set, rotogravure and flexo printing processes.

As the name suggests, this non-tearable synthetic paper has been designed specifically for tag applications. The product is printable on both sides by UV offset, water and UV flexo and thermal transfer printing processes.
