Non-conductive dark metallic labelstocks compatible with laser printers
Suitable for microwave heating, perfect for product labelling and eye-catching labels
LINTEC has developed a non-conductive labelstock that features a luxurious dark metallic finish. These products will be released on March 21, available in two types, GM5010 (gloss) and GM5020 (matt). Despite their metallic appearance, these labelstocks do not conduct electricity, making them suitable for laser printing and microwave heating, something that would be difficult to achieve using ordinary metalized labelstocks.
Creating non-conductive metallic labelstocks
We have developed a non-conductive labelstock that is unlike ordinary metalized labelstocks, using a special vapor deposition technique. Despite their metallic finish, labelstocks are made in a way that does not conduct electricity. This has enabled us to create a range of items that are compatible with laser printers, which are often used in offices that use static electricity to apply toner. This labelstock is also suitable for microwave heating, something that would be difficult to achieve using normal metalized labelstocks, and can be used for a wide range of purposes, including labels on refrigerated or frozen food products and eye-catching labels.

Making it easier to produce original-design labels
We will be releasing two products – GM5010 and GM5020. These labelstocks make it possible to produce chic and design-led labels with a unique sense, in contrast to common metalized labels. To date, we have been offering a series of laser printer compatible products that consisted of papers, transparent films or white films as its facestock. With the addition of these new dark metallic products, it will open up a wider range of design possibilities. As well as eye-catching labels and product labels for cosmetics, daily necessities and food products, these labelstocks are also suitable for purposes such as unique labels featuring memorable dates and messages.
