CTWD-H-Grade

Double sided holographic cold transfer for web-fed rotary presses

CTWD-H grade is a holographic cold transfer product recommended for double sided applications such as self-adhesive labels and shrink sleeves, especially where overprintability is a key requirement.

Key Features

CTWD-H grade is a functional transfer material with a holographic effect, designed for use in various printing and packaging applications. It features a double-sided holographic effect, providing equally high metallic gloss and brightness on both sides. CTWD-H is compatible with shrink-sleeve labels, as it accommodates the required shrinkage rates. It offers good release properties, making it suitable for high-speed stamping processes. Its transfer performance is optimized for precise reproduction of both fine details and solid areas. It also has excellent over printability, with strong ink adhesion that supports further processing & customisation.
