Innovia Films has announced it has applied its surface technology to material science, by developing what its says is a uniquely engineered printable coated cavitated BOPP facestock film, Rayoface AQBSA.  Designed for pressure sensitive labeling (PSL) applications, the film is 58 microns thick, has a printable top-coating, and an adhesive receptive coated surface on the reverse side.  

“AQBSA is suitable for use within a wide range of market segments such as Household and Personal Care, Food and Beverage, and other consumer packaged goods sectors,” explains Lucija Kralj, business unit director, Labels. “The 5-layer technology in the cavitated base film, means AQBSA is a high-performance product that gives both superb economics and a high yield.”

With a high opacity of 91%, Rayoface AQBSA provides a brilliant white surface, and even after top-coatings, has EU food contact compliance. The enhanced coating technology of Innovia Films means AQBSA provides the off-press ink adhesion label printing requires, as well as the print and cold-foiling appearance the PSL market demands.  

This film has already undergone in-depth trialling and shown excellent results throughout the PSL supply chain and is available immediately.
