Heading for Labelexpo Europe 2011 with new capability profile: VPF are still relying on innovations and investments

VPF GmbH & Co. KG from Sprockhoevel, Germany are already successful as specialists and niche providers of self-adhesive material solutions for many years.

Through various investments and strict keeping up of the quality standards, the company is since this year – and just in time for the Labelexpo - capable of providing bigger amounts of material with dispersions beyond the simple standards at market-compliant prices. This was made possible through optimizing of capacities and improvement of the productivity.

Therefore, constructions like e.g. paper-coated aluminum foil or papers or films that are even more special with up to 1,000 mm of work width at dispersions and glassine are available at attractive conditions beyond small amounts of 5,000 m², too. The same applies to multi-layer-constructions, material with adhesive-free stripes or opaque materials.

VPF are also strengthening their market position on the field of uv-curable acrylics for technical applications. In addition to the common grammages, extended adhesive weights of 50 g/m² and more are highly demanded. The acrylics are offering special advantages according to resistance to high temperatures (up to + 150°C), uv-rays, moisture and many chemicals. The main part of the sold amount of that kind of constructions is supplied with polyester or similar face materials.

The signs of the times at VPF are still pointing towards the future. The sales possibilities of innovative products offering a no-label-look for example are showing to be promising at the moment. At the end of the first quarter of 2012, VPF will therefore equip their hotmelt coater with additional rotating bar slot technology, making at least streak-free coating with uv-curable acrylics possible. This is especially important for the look of transparent films. By means of useful investments and continuous innovation, VPF GmbH & Co. KG managed to perform at all the Labelexpo trade fairs in previous years with new products and customer-oriented solutions. Once again this year, that is one fact not to be changed.
