Mitsubishi HiTec Paper has developed jetscript Metal VPG 1018, a metallic silver gloss paper for water-based inkjet printing of self-adhesive labels.

As a paper product, the new jetscript Metal VPG 1018 is purely fibre-based with a silver metallic glossy finish and a transparent, microporous inkjet coating to enhance printing performance.

Mitsubishi HiTec Paper noted jetscript Metal VPG 1018 as offering, ‘high print density, fast drying, compatibility with latex inks and optimum performance in the self-adhesive production process.’

Nic Holmer, director of sales at the specialty paper manufacturer, explained, ‘This makes it particularly suitable for eye-catching and high-quality labels in the beverage, cosmetics or food sector. But also for other applications such as wrapping paper, advertising panels and displays.’

Alongside jetscript Metal VPG 1018, Mitsubishi HiTec Paper has added barricote Bag WGOM, a fully recyclable barrier paper for flexible food packaging with multi-barrier against water vapour, grease and oil, oxygen and aroma, as well as mineral oil migration.

Both products will be introduced to the market at next month’s Labelexpo Europe 2019 and at FachPack 2019.
