PAPER
55# DENSIFIED KRAFT—3.2 MILS
This densified kraft liner is ideal for the processing of label
component system products through rotary dies. The hard,
caliper controlled liner provides a consistent base for rotary
printing and die-cutting of labels.
58# POLYCOATED KRAFT—4.2 MILS
This polycoated kraft liner is our standard for performance.
It provides an excellent balance of moisture stability
(non-wrinkling) properties and is also a good liner for
steel rule and hard tool die-cutting.
60# DENSIFIED KRAFT—3.5 MILS
This densified kraft liner is ideal for metal nameplate
processing with hard tool dies. The hard (dense) liner
reduces edge burr on metal plates.
83# POLYCOATED KRAFT—6.2 MILS
This polycoated kraft liner provides excellent moisture
stability for lay-flat sheet processing. Its thicker caliper is
ideal for kiss-cutting of end tabs and multiple nameplates
where the waste is removed.
SPA POLYCOATED KRAFT—4.2 MILS
Our new 3M
™
Liner 7526L is specifically designed and
certified for our UV screen printable adhesive. Our new
7526L is coated both sides with a silicone release agent
for easy removal.
FILM
CLEAR POLYESTER—2.0 MILS
This controlled caliper film liner is ideal for high speed
processing. Its exceptional strength reduces liner breakage
during die-cutting and automatic dispensing applications.
CLEAR HDPE (HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE)—
3.0 MILS
This liner is silicone treated for easy release. It is commonly
used for see-through applications where the graphic quality
is inspected through the liner and adhesive. It is generally
used for backlit graphics, but is excellent for one-piece liner
removal of intricate die-cut parts.
CLEAR LDPE (LOW DENSITY POLYETHYLENE)—
4.0 MILS
This liner is not silicone treated, so liner removal is a little
raspy. It is ideal for applications requiring embossing or
thermal forming. It is also used for applications requiring
one-piece removal.
SPA HDPE—3.0 MILS
3M
™
Liner 7527L is specifically designed and certified for

3M offers three types of liners in a number of different weights for various die-cutting processes. Polycoated kraft liners offer
excellent moisture stability to resist wrinkling and curling. Densified kraft liners reduce edge burr on metal plates and are ideal
for rotary processing. Film liners offer additional strength for high speed processing and dispensing, dust-free features for
clean-room processing, and see-through property for graphic inspection.
