MACtac PUREtac CL216 is currently available on a 2.0-mil clear, 2.3-mil white and 2.0-mil chrome, top coated, biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) with 1.0-mil and 1.2-mil PET liners.

Polyester (PET) liners are commonly used in specialty applications as well as in no-label-look, high-volume prime label applications, such as food, beverage and personal care products. PET liners offer die-cut capabilities, smaller roll diameters, better adhesive appearance that leads to flawless application of the label on brand owners' containers, higher productivity and the potential for recyclability.
