Flexible packaging and standard films for
narrow-web converters
Enclosed sample shows value of flexible packaging
Strong demand from the food and pharmaceutical
industries for small-run, high-quality, non-adhesive
packaging materials is creating exciting
opportunities for narrow-web converters.
To help you secure these lucrative orders, the
Fasson ® Rapid-Roll ® service is ready to supply
matt-surface film with a distinctive paper-like
surface for product labelling, heat-seal film ideal
for flexible packaging, and cavitated film for
reel-fed wrap-around labelling. Slit to the correct
width and delivered in the right quantities for each
job, innovative narrow-web converters are using
the Rapid-Roll service to instantly fill orders for
cut-and-stack labels (CSL), an attractive, low-cost
labelling solution ideal for inserts in poultry,
baking, meat and seafood packaging. For detailed
information on flexible packaging, please visit our
website www.europe.fasson.com/rapid-roll.
See the enclosed sample of our popular Fasson
mC PE 1S-105 (product code: SV7311), which is
ideal for flexible packaging that truly stands out.
An alternative for printing on an HP Indigo machine
is our Fasson Digital Indigo PP Flex Clear 1S-30 film.
Another popular use of non-adhesive films is for
multi-layer labels which peel back cleanly and are
easy to reseal. Multi-layer labels create extra
printing space for product information, and are
also used to produce labels containing promotional
coupons, or detailed information booklets.

varilabel of the Netherlands wins new jobs
with rapid-roll ® service
The right product in the right volumes
Borry vrieling, managing Director of varilabel Printers based in Harmelen, the Netherlands,
says the rapid-roll ® service has been their perfect partner in winning new conversion jobs.
With major production mills only selling products in
large volumes, Vrieling says that in the past Varilabel
had been forced to turn small-run customers away as
they were unable to source the right product
they needed in smaller volumes. Now, with the
small minimum order quantities and extremely rapid
delivery times of the Rapid-Roll service, Varilabel
has been able to win new contracts throughout the
European market. The range of products they source
through the Rapid-Roll service is used to produce
finished labelling as well as VIP labelling, which
allows the end client to add variable information to
the Varilabel preprinted stock.
“Avery Dennison’s performance exceeds our
expectations, and they often outperform their
own promises. I would highly recommend the
Fasson ® Rapid-Roll service,” says Vrieling.

Full supply and support service for
non-adhesive materials

every day, and guaranteed shipping within 48 hours
(ex works), the Fasson ® Rapid-Roll ® service allows
narrow-web converters to quickly source the right
non-adhesive product for each print job. At our
Luxembourg facility and some of our European
distribution centres we stock our leading products,
and have the slitting capacity to consistently fulfil
your urgent print jobs.
Our cost-saving Fasson ® Exact service applies to
a number of products from the Rapid-Roll range and
allows you to order the exact width required for each
job. As a result, you are not left with – or charged
for – unwanted offcuts.
In short, the extremely short lead time, low minimum
order quantities and exact width of the Rapid-Roll
Fasson ® rapid-roll ®
service provide a unique supply service that cuts
converter inventory costs.
Our online catalogue and ordering system, combined
with a competitive pricing structure and transparent
volume discounts, makes product selection fast and
convenient. Moreover, our full technical and sales
support teams are always ready to help you drive
sales through new market opportunities.

HP Indigo
Topcoated non-adhesive materials for HP Indigo
The short delivery time and small minimum order
quantities of the Fasson ® Rapid-Roll ® service make
it an excellent supply service for digital presses such
as HP Indigo. Topcoated, non-adhesive materials are
used increasingly on reel-to-reel digital presses to
produce flexible packaging, shrink sleeves, marketing
mailings and ticketing.
To fulfil this growing market demand, the Rapid-Roll
service now supplies eight products fully certified
by HP Indigo for their Industrial Presses. The Digital
Indigo Rapid-Roll range of products is ideal for exploring
new business opportunities such as coupons,
short-run brochures and menus, using quality
topcoated MC Elite papers or shrink PET for shrink
sleeves. Because all products are topcoated and slit
ready to print in the desired width, the Digital Indigo
Rapid-Roll range optimises press production, improves
printing performance and cuts inventory costs.
www.europe.fasson.com/rapid-roll
In addition to the Rapid-Roll range, the HP Indigo
products are also available in some of the selfadhesive
ranges.
Examples of the HP Indigo products:

Leading FSC cards available through
rapid-roll ® service
Quality cards from sustainable forests
As part of our commitment to sustainable business
practices, the Fasson ® Rapid-Roll ® service covers
the FSC card range.
FSC cards are certified by the Forest Stewardship
Council (FSC) which was founded in 1993 to
encourage sustainable, well-managed forestry,
preserve biodiversity and wildlife, respect human
rights, and eliminate habitat destruction and
water pollution. Over the last seventeen years,
FSC has become the internationally recognised
mark for products sourced from sustainable and
well-managed forests.
All Rapid-Roll FSC products, such as Fasson MC Elite
FSCMixCred 1S-160 (product code: AH843), are
technically similar to non-certified products. Consequently,
easy requalification is possible, and you
can be sure of the same high level of performance.
Fasson ® rapid-roll ®
Rapid-Roll FSC-certified products are accompanied
by a chain of custody, which means you, the
converter and the end-user will need FSC
certification before the end product can carry the
valued FSC logo. If required, Avery Dennison will
help your business obtain this certification.
