Fasson® Birch Veneer ITC/AT20N/40#SCK
Spec# 53493
Facestock:
Fasson® Birch Wood ITC ("Indigo Top Coat") is a smooth, authentic wood veneer label material. The smooth surface has just enough hand-feel so that you know it is real wood, but it is smooth enough to be printed and converted. Fasson® Birch Wood is ideal for wine, spirits, high-end beverages, and gourmet foods. The surface has been optimized for printing pressure sensitive labels on HP Indigo® ws4000, ws4050, ws4500, and ws6000 digital color presses. This Indigo topcoated ("ITC") paper has a one-year shelf life.

Because Birch Wood is a 100% true wood material with natural grain patterns, no two labels will look the same. The wood might have natural defects such as dark spots, cracks, general wood bruising, or even a small hole. The color shade, grain pattern, and caliper can vary between batches, or even within a roll. Given the nature of the material, the product has to be cut with dies adapted to it, thus it could generate wood dust. The Birch Wood material will carry wood separations (joints), as well as an increased number of product splices (wood plus polyester carrier) in a roll, because this is a wood material. It is recommended to avoid exposing the material to heat and/or moisture conditions, since this will affect the material's flatness.

Adhesive:
Fasson® AT20N is an all-temperature adhesive developed to provide good room temperature performance and excellent cold temperature performance without sacrificing good diecutting and stripping properties. Because of its cold- temperature properties and good adhesion to corrugated cardboard, AT20N is an ideal adhesive for warehouse applications. Fasson® AT20N is suitable for applications where compliance with FDA 175.105 is required. This section covers applications where incidental contact between food and adhesive could occur.
