New FSC Certified Wine Faces Meet the Productive PET30 Liner

UPM promotes all credible forest certification schemes including the two major international ones, FSC and PEFC.

Oct 1 2011 --- UPM Raflatac’s biggest selling wine label faces are now available FSC certified. The gloss, matt and textured papers cover a wide range of wine labelling needs, providing wine growers and retailers the possibility to meet consumer perceptions of a reputable, responsible and premium brand.

The FSC chain of custody tracks certified material from the forest to the final labelstock product, and guarantees that the wood raw materials are from responsible sources. UPM aims to maximise the use of certified fibre and promotes a global increase in the use of certified wood. UPM promotes all credible forest certification schemes including the two major international ones, FSC and PEFC.

Together with the FSC certified wine faces, UPM Raflatac is offering a productivity boost with the PET30 liner option. The thin PET liner provides longer roll lengths for fewer roll changes, and high-speed conversion even with complex label shapes.

The used liner can be sold to recyclers, eliminating landfill costs and complementing the sustainability of the FSC certified label faces. For bottlers, this robust moisture-resistant PET liner dispenses at higher speed with less risk of web breaks, and again reduces the number of roll changes. More uptime means better productivity for an increase in profitability.
