As a high-quality backing material, kraft paper forms the backbone of many self-adhesive laminates. Thanks to the use of long cellulose fibres, it offers mechanical strength that surpasses that of conventional papers. HERMA kraft papers are specially optimised to retain their shape even under difficult conditions.
Benefits of HERMA kraft paper
HERMA kraft papers set the standard in terms of stability and process reliability.
As a single-sided coated backing material, it offers technical advantages that
go far beyond those of standard papers:
- Outstanding flatness: A key quality advantage is its excellent flatness.
- High rigidity and dimensional stability: The long cellulose fibres give the material above-average strength.
- Precise die-cutting results: When used in an adhesive laminate, the material ensures precise cut edges.
- Optimal feeding properties: Thanks to its high abrasion resistance and targeted friction on the reverse side, the material feeds reliably through complex production lines.
- Tear and break resistance: The backing material remains stable even under mechanical stress.
Examples of the use of kraft paper as a base material
Typical applications for single-sided coated kraft papers include
computer labels, e.g. for continuous-feed and sheet-fed laser printers, where greater
stiffness and better flatness are required. HERMA kraft papers
offer good die-cutting properties when laminated on all standard flatbed and
rotary die-cutting machines.
