Fasson® 55# White Smooth WS ("Wet-Strength") FSC®/Z3338/1.2 Mil Polyester
Spec# 79642
Facestock:
Fasson® 55# White Smooth WS ("Wet Strength") FSC® is a white paper featuring a smooth finish and a wet-strength additive which increases resistance to tearing and shriveling in moist environments. It is a particularly well-designed facestock for craft beer applications.

Note: Qualification is a subjective evaluation, and customer perception might differ. As label designs vary, we encourage end-use application testing of all materials.

The FSC® Certification ensures that products come from well-managed forests which provide environmental, social, and economic benefits. The FSC® chain of custody certification verifies that FSC® certified material is identified or kept segregated from non-certified or non-controlled material through this chain.

Adhesive:
Fasson® Z3338 is a cold/wet adhesive engineered to perform in heavy condensation environments without sacrificing good diecutting and stripping properties. Because of its cold/wet application properties, Z3338 is an ideal adhesive for improved ice bucket and cold box performance. Fasson® Z3338 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.
