by 3M

3M™ Digitally Printed Label Material 7983 is affixed to a 3.3 mil matte silver polyester facestock with 0.8 mil 3M™ 300 heavy duty adhesive on a 90 lb. multi-ply kraft border. 3M™ 300 Heavy Duty Adhesive is ideal for applications requiring greater initial adhesion, particularly to low surface tension plastic substrates. Its rapid flow capacity makes this adhesive ideal for laminating onto porous foams.

3M™ Digitally Printed Label Material 7983 features a matte surface layer that resists degradation from friction, chemicals, moisture and large temperature fluctuations. It is suitable for dot-matrix printing and is hand writable. The material has a high tack adhesive that bonds well to low surface tension substrates. This material has a 90 lb. strippable flat edge with Acrylic Adhesive 300. Acrylic Adhesive 300 is ideal for applications requiring greater initial adhesion, particularly on low surface tension (LST) plastic substrates. Its rapid flow capacity makes this adhesive ideal for laminating onto porous foams. The 3M™ Performance Label offers a wide range of products that provide long-term durability and adhesion, are resistant to automotive chemicals and are durable outdoors. Some products can be printed by flexography or screen printing as well as by thermal transfer, digital printing, inkjet, laser or dot-matrix printing. Available with many facestocks, including polyester, polypropylene and vinyl to pharmaceutical or synthetic papers. Please refer to each product’s Material Safety Data Sheet for details. UL recognized and accepted by the CSA.
