UPM Raflatac Launches Small Roll Service

MILLS RIVER, NC—April 2, 2012—UPM Raflatac announces the launch of its new Small Roll Service for Durables and Security labeling products in the Americas. This innovative program allows converters to provide high-value labelstock solutions to a broader customer base, increasing their business capabilities.

Durables and Security labeling applications require exceptional performance and special attributes such as environmental resistance, long-lasting adhesion and product authentication capabilities. As such, labelstock solutions for these end-uses can be more costly to produce. With limited options available, converters have historically ordered master rolls of paper and film labelstocks, which can increase their upfront costs and reduce valuable warehouse space if stock goes unused. UPM Raflatac’s new Small Roll Service allows converters to order single rolls, available in widths of 6.5 inches by 1,500 feet, of 11 of its Durables and Security products.

With our new Small Roll Service, label converters can provide Durables and Security end-users with high-quality, speed-to-market labelstock solutions,” says Trevor Richardson, Business Development Manager, Specials, UPM Raflatac. “Additionally, our customers can take advantage of our new service to run product trials and fill small orders at a lower cost with less risk, increasing their flexibility and profitability.”
