Twin Rivers Paper Co., South Portland, Maine, USA, a producer of lightweight specialty label, packaging, and publishing papers, announced that its Alliance® TT (Thermal Transfer) product is now available in 40 lb. This newly designed 40 lb basis weight (24x36/500) broadens the company's label product offering. Twin Rivers' label portfolio includes release liner, C1S wet strength, thermal transfer, and specialty base stock.
Alliance TT, with its Flexo (flood coat) and thermal transfer ribbon printability as well as aesthetics properties, eliminates many of the hassles that converters encounter when picking a thermal transfer label. With its specialized coating and surface smoothness, the product can deliver high quality images across a wide range of ribbon combinations. Its high brightness combined with its blue-white shade provides a print contrast for better bar code readability, the company points out. The addition of 40 lb Alliance TT allows converters to get more units out of a roll.
Twin Rivers Paper Co. has operations in New Brunswick, Maine, and Québec (Canada).
