3 Sigma has also recently announced the addition of a new water-dissolvable label stock to its pressure-sensitive materials line. “Many manufacturers and end users seek a temporary label product that is environmentally benign and can be easily removed,” says Paul Benson, product development manager. “This label stock has great potential for new and innovative applications, and was enthusiastically received by label producers during beta testing.” The product consists of a 40-pound super-calendered paper and WD-1 adhesive, both of which dissolve quickly and wash away in room temperature water. The new 3 Sigma label stock is designed for marking and identifying food trays, water toys, sports equipment, watercraft, or returnable containers.
