Technical Capabilities

Printing Processes: Screen or UV litho printing. Corona treated (both sides) for UV litho/screen is guaranteed for 3 months after manufacture, 6 months for conventional screen printing. Check the making date on the label; do not print Priplak if guaranteed treatment time has expired

Printing Inks: Use inks for polypropylene. If Priplak is used within a litho printed job (e.g. as a cover) avoid litho inks with high mineral oil distillate as Priplak can be distorted/caused to curl. Vegetable/Soya based inks or similar can reduce the distortion. Check with ink supplier. It is also recommended any litho printed surface in contact with Priplak, as part of the finished job, be sealed by film lamination

Hot Foil Blocking: Brass or steel block preferred

Cutting and Creasing: Acclimatise to room temperature. Crease on a flat Creasing bed without channels. Hot creasing above 1400mm thick. Creasing process lengthens the material. Use double cut procedure when guillotining to minimise splitting/chipping at the edges
Special Note:
With all pearl, metallic and iridescent pigments, colour variations will be evident between different batches and thicknesses of material
