Materials Matrix


Updated March 2011
Page 1 of 1

It is impossible to convey the surface 'finish' of our materials by means other than physical samples - please contact us if you require samples.

This page provides an index into the wide range of materials and adhesives available and in what product range they can be found. The colour representation is a guide only within the limitiations of web page delivery. Full details are given in the specification sheets available under the PDF link.

The specification sheets include full printing information. The traffic lights guide is arranged as; Green - material tested and approved for use using the correct machine conditions, Amber - customer to check if printed result is suitable, Red - the combination is unsuitable. NB Although HP Indigo presses normally use SRA3 and larger sheet sizes there are some IDP (Indigo printable) materials available in the PCL (A4) range and increases the number and variety of die cut label sizes available for use.
