 "Cosmo Films expands direct thermal printable products range")
Cosmo Films, a manufacturer of films for packaging, labelling and lamination applications, has expanded its range of direct thermal printable (DTP) products to include standard DTP films, top coated DTP films, high temperature DTP films and DTP paper.
Direct thermal printing is generally used for tagging and labelling applications where elaborate printing is not required and printing is done only for critical information like barcodes. This technology does not require an ink ribbon for printing and the image/impression formation takes place simply when coated substrate come in contact with the print head of the thermal printer.
Cosmo Films recently launched a BOPP (bi-axially oriented polypropylene) based top coated DTP film, which is water and solvent resistant and can be used for tough weather labelling such as deep freeze product labelling, industrial bar coding, track & trace and logistics. This product has been developed for meat packaging & carcass tagging applications, which require relatively high temperature process parameters.
With this, the company can now also offer DTP paper in both top coated and uncoated varieties.
"Direct thermal printing has been gaining significant prominence in recent times due to its ease of use, low total applied cost and optimum image density and we are glad that we can offer both paper and filmic solutions for a wide range of applications now being printed by this printing technology," commented Kapil Anand, head - specialty labelling exports, Cosmo Films.
Cosmo Films Limited is one of the leading global manufacturers of specialty films such as BOPP, cast polypropylene (CPP), bi-axially oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BOPET), etc. These films are used for packaging, labels and lamination applications. The company is the leading exporter of BOPP films from India and the largest producer of thermal lamination films in the world with plant cum distribution centres in India, Japan, Korea & the US along with global channel partners in more than seventy countries.
