Direct thermal overlaminating film

Media Solutions Intl., IIMAK, Wausau Coated Products introduce the TOF Thermal Overlaminating Film. According to the companies, the patented TOF product is a breakthrough for thermal imaging and an important new direct thermal label product.

It transforms any face sheet made of paper, film, foil, or specialty tags into a durable direct thermal product. It has the ability to transform any printed or blank label into one that can be thermally imprinted without the need for a ribbon. This is accomplished by coating direct thermal to the backside of an 0.25-mil thin PET film. Then, a p-s adhesive is placed over the thermal chemistry and laminated to a release liner.
