Among the products showcased:
- THIN FILM is the latest film labelstock offering from UPM Raflatac and is made with lighter and thinner materials.

At the same time the product's environmental footprint decreases significantly, the company says.

- For high density polyethylene and rough bottle surfaces used in the lubricant industry, UPM Raflatac's label materials not only meet end customers' packaging requirements for strong adhesion and high quality, but also solve such potential visual problems as edge warping, bulging, bubbling, edge lifting and edge pleating.
