Curing to an extremely low odor, PUREmatte is ideal for printers and converters of shrink films and pressure-sensitive labels, as well as flexible packaging and folding carton applications.

PUREmatte offers flexibility for shrink sleeves and prime labels while being benzo-free and featuring superior abrasion resistance. These properties make it especially appealing to brand owners in the beverage, pharmaceutical, health and beauty, and other end-use segments with stringent demands for low-odor packaging, in addition to high-end shelf appeal. PUREmatte is also an eco-friendly product manufactured with lower migration materials. It is Nestlé- compliant and also complies with California Proposition 65.

In addition to shrink sleeves and pressure-sensitive labels, PUREmatte is also an ideal fit for printers and converters of PET, OPP/BOPP films, paper, tag stock, pouches, carton board and cosmetic web films. Scuff-resistant PUREmatte also helps minimize cracking, making it a worry-free product during transport and logistics processes.
