Introducing 3M™ Versatile Print Label Material
-
One Topcoat. More Possibilities.
One of the toughest challenges in creating durable labels is the number of different facestocks required for different presses and inks. That’s why our expert engineers created 3M™ Versatile Print Label Material, a single durable label material with a new gloss topcoat formulation that works with more inks on more printing presses, even water-based flexographic. Create crystal-clear labels that last, including variable data, bar codes and brand-matched colors.
