Shelf appeal; the superior gloss and clarity of the transparent films enables end users to create a “no label look” on their converted product, whether it be in a wrap around label application or pressure sensitive face stock application. Metallized label options enable end users to differentiate their product on the shelf with an enhanced metallic appearance.
