SmartSolve labelstock is a white, supercalendared water soluble paper with a water-dispersible emulsion adhesive designed to dissolve in water. Material is on a white kraftliner. This lable is environmentally sustainable, non-toxic material that can dissolve instantly in water, or can biodegrade gradually depending on the amount of water or moisture exposure. It is composed of sodium caboxy methyl cellulose and wood pulp from FSC certified forests. This dissolving material has a paper-like consistency that is available in a variety of thicknesses and can also be enhanced with custom coatings. The most popular coatings transform the dissolving paper into a dissolving pressure-sensitive label or a dissolving pouch. Dissolving paper can also be printed on most web and sheet fed presses including digital, flexography, letterpress, and dry offset. It requires no special equipment and accepts water and oil based inks. When the paper vanishes in water, so does anything printed or written on it.
