Synthetic matt paper. Ideal for waterproof and tear-resistant loop-locks and hang tags that are to be lettered in thermal transfer printing.

PICOFILM P-185 M1 is a white polyester film coated one side with a matt primer. It is weather-resistant, chemical-resistant, temperature-resistant and dimensionally stable. It can be cut, punched, perforated and drilled without issue. It’s also suitable for hot foil stamping and laser cutting.

The high-quality coated film surface offers optimized printing results. The smooth surface is highly suitable for thermal transfer printing, with the matt glare-free look ensuring barcode readability. Suitable for monochrome and full-colour laser printing, and for UV flexo and conventional offset pre-printing with oxidative drying inks. With fast ink drying, ideal ink adhesion and toner fusing.
