Series comparison within this family
Surface and converting behaviour are given as relative bands rather than numeric claims, because the result also depends on board, ink and machine settings.
| Series | Gloss | Scuff behaviour | Converting |
|---|---|---|---|
| PLA compostable | Medium | Moderate | Fold, die-cut |
| Bio matt | Low | Moderate | Fold, glue |
| Paper look | Ultra low | High | Fold, print |
Family questions
Asked before ordering
The PLA grades are intended for industrial composting conditions. Home composting results depend on the facility and should not be assumed.
Usually yes, at a lower temperature. Because the substrate is more heat-sensitive than BOPP, a trial run is recommended before committing a full roll.
