In North America, the label manufacturing industry has struggled with a paper shortage for several years. The Pixelle mill in Jay, Maine, supplies about 20% to 30% of the paper consumed by North American label manufacturers. Currently, however, the Pixelle mill is unable to produce enough paper for its needs because of an extended strike by workers at UPM’s Finnish paper mills in mid-2022.

There are many ways that the paper shortage has affected the manufacturing of labels. Besides the fact that a shortage of paper is bad for the bottom line, it also affects a company’s ability to meet customer requirements in a timely fashion.

This is especially true for the paper used to make a release liner. A release liner is a sheet of paper or plastic film coated on one or both sides with a release agent. This agent prevents a sticky material from prematurely adhering to the liner. Commonly, release liners are manufactured with low surface energy coatings that provide a high releasability.

They are available in various colors and can be printed on both sides of the liner. They are commonly used for packaging tapes, labels, and other industrial uses.

Silicone release paper is a paper that is laminated with a polyethylene film then coated with a layer of silicone with non-sticking properties. This type of paper can be made into single sided or double sided releases and is a good choice for food, medical, electronics and sealant applications.

LINTEC endows their papers and films with special functions, such as releasability, water resistance, heat resistance, and abrasion resistance to create release papers and film forming materials that protect the adhesive surfaces of various adhesive products. They also produce casting papers that impart patterns and gloss to the surface of synthetic leathers, unsupported films, and composite materials.

These linings are produced from a variety of different types of plastic resins, which can be combined to form a unique plastic film for a specific application. This includes single plastics such as LDPE and HDPE, multilayer coextrusions and a range of specialized blends of resins.

The linings can be manufactured as either single or double sided sheets and are available in stock densified kraft or in polycoated varieties. They are often used in the production of a wide range of commercial and residential insulations.
