Labels that Sparkle: Exotic Roll Materials from MGX
Occasionally an application calls for a need to set a product apart from the competition…maybe it’s a limited-run exclusive, a holiday-themed item, or a top-of-the line product. One way to identify a unique item is to give it a unique, eye-catching label. If a premium product calls for a label that will grab the maximum attention on store shelves, look no further than Masterpiece Graphix’s exotic substrates. MGX offers a full line of “labels that sparkle”: including iridescent, foil, metalized paper and holographic materials. No matter your desired product appearance, specific material requirements or budget, Masterpiece Graphix can provide an exotic substrate to suit your needs.
Holographic Iridescent Metalized Paper/ Perm/40# SCK (R1187): This substrate is one of our most commonly ordered exotic materials. Featuring a two-dimensional holographic diffraction pattern and an FDA 175.105-compliant adhesive, MGX’s Holographic Iridescent Metalized Paper/Perm/40# SCK is eye-catching and is more economically-priced compared to other exotic materials.
Silver Metalized Paper/All-Temp Perm/40# SCK (R0149): This premium finished metalized paper material features a bright silver high-sheen face with an acrylic topcoat and excellent printability. Since the adhesive is FDA 175.105-compliant and performs well in all temperatures, the substrate is ideal for cold beverages that require refrigeration.
2 mil Metalized BOPP TC/ Perm/1.2mil PET (R1179): This material features a bright silver, mirror-like facestock, with a superior wet-out adhesive that is perfect for squeezable container applications. The adhesive is also FDA 21 CFR 175.105-compliant, approved for indirect contact with food. This material is suitable for food packaging as well as cosmetic and toiletry labeling.
Laminated Foil/Perm/40#SCK: Masterpiece Graphix offers several foil materials. Options include a silver or gold face with a dull (matte) or bright (mirror-like) finishes. Laminated foil offers durability and excellent color reproduction, for labels that really “pop”. Some press operators opt to flood-coat their silver foil, to produce colored tinted metallics and color matched foils. The permanent adhesive used on MGX laminated foil stock is durable and versatile, suitable for virtually all prime label applications. The adhesive is also safe for incidental food contact.
