Print

APPLETON, WI (News release) - Appvion announces the launch of Alpha® 185 E, a non-topcoated direct thermal label facestock designed with Appvion's phenol-free chemistry. Alpha® 185 E is fully recyclable and provides higher resistance to heat, water, and alcohol. It is suitable for a variety of direct thermal applications, including distribution, logistics, and cross-docking. Notably, Alpha® 185 E is versatile for use with recyclable packaging materials that have shorter lifespans, as it can be recycled without the need to remove the label beforehand.

"This product not only meets the high standards of our EarthChem™ portfolio but also addresses the growing demand for environmentally friendly solutions in the market. We are proud to offer a direct thermal label facestock that delivers exceptional performance while being mindful of our planet."
