Systems Group Inc., the Canadian developers and manufacturers of short to mid

material has passed Section 3 certification for use in the EDGE 850 digital
label printer. The recently approved substrate is matte white polyester from
UPM Raflatac, with part number LS276R. Rolls of material can be purchased from
iSys-appointed converters in the United States.
Randy Rickert, Director at iSys
Label, says “we’ve developed a strong relationship with UPM Raflatac over the
years and are pleased to announce the addition of their substrate to our
Certified Media Library. This material will provide our users with access to
more solutions when printing BS5609-compliant labels.”
In order to print fully-compliant
drum and chemical labels; the facestock, adhesive and printed graphic all need
to meet the requirements for sections 1, 2 and 3 of BS5609 standards and be
independently tested and certified by PIRA (the Print Industry Research
Association). The printed labels are exposed to artificial weathering, tape
removal and abrasion resistance tests to ensure they are capable of
withstanding the harshest environments and prove their durability.

roll to roll digital label printer and comes complete with the printer, feeder,
rewinder and EDGE2Print software. With easy-to-use drag and drop software and
