VPF GmbH & Co. KG has announced a new adhesive material for tamper-evident labels. The manufacturer now uses paper instead of film, for the production of security material for label printing. With equally forgery-proof results, the checkerboard pattern known from security films is clearly visible after manipulation.
Until now, security labels for first-opening, tamper and tamper-evident protection have mainly been made of film materials. Now, VPF claims to have succeeded in developing an adhesive material that also meets the high demands of the market when using a paper face material.
Special paper replaces film material
The Checkerboard adhesive paper (VPF 100328) leaves behind a white checkerboard pattern after opening, as previously only known from film labels.
This is made possible by the use of a 60-gram special paper which, in contrast to previous solutions, remains clearly recognisable even on the detached label face. The non-adhesive checkerboard pattern on the substrate prevents any attempt of reattachment after being detached.
Adhesive can be dyed
The new Checkerboard adhesive paper (VPF 100328) comes standard with adhesive 925 (22 gram application weight). The adhesive adheres perfectly even to difficult substrates such as cardboard or folding boxes. This makes the new labelstock suitable for the secure closure of pharmaceutical products, food and fast-food packaging or high-quality technology and cosmetic articles.
It is also available with coloured adhesives on request. The Checkerboard adhesive paper (VPF 100328) is available immediately from small minimum quantities of 200 m². A4 samples are available at any time.
