| Production efficiency is one of the most important | | | | By reducing the amount of liner breakage and |

| polyester, PET, liner comes in. | | | | production efficiency when producing labels on PET |
| Running labels on PET liner can provide greater | | | | liner, which compensates for the higher cost of the |

| running labels is liner breakage. A broken liner means | | | | purchase the same labels you're using now on PET |
| machine downtime while the problem is resolved. | | | | liner for the same price as paper liner! |
| Compared to paper liner, PET liner is much less | | | | As if better production efficiency at a great price |

| | | | bleach and other chemicals during its production |
| 1. PET is a stronger material. The strength of this | | | | process. Disposal of these chemicals can be very |

| 2. PET liner requires fewer splices to complete a label | | | | Changing from paper liner to PET liner is also easier |
