Features
• Facestock is ideal for traditional forms of press printing and write-on variable
information.
• Designed to survive autoclaving, ETO and gamma sterilization while adhered to most
surfaces.
• Meets many pharmaceutical industry or manufacturer specifications.
• 3M™ Performance Paper Label Materials 7011 and 7011FP utilize a fragile paper
facestock and can be used as a security of tamper-evident seal on a variety of
substrates.
• 3M™ Performance Paper Label Materials 7000, 7002, 7011, and 7014 utilize a
43# Densified Kraft liner that help improve application accuracy due to excellent
liner release consistency.
• 3M™ Performance Paper Label Materials 7000FP, 7002FP, 7011FP and 7014FP
utilize a 55# Densified Kraft liner that provides consistent die cutting.
• 3M™ Performance Paper Label Materials 7000FL, and 7014FL utilize a polyester
liner that improves die cutting by allowing for deeper die cuts than paper without the
added concern of exposing paper fibers. A backside release coating helps minimize
label blocking. The film liner resists breakage during high speed dispensing.
• Ideal for application rates up to 250 containers per minute.
Application Ideas
• Pharmaceutical labeling.
• Barcode labels and rating plates.
• Property identification and asset labeling.

Performance
Note: The following technical information and data should be considered representative
or typical only and should not be used for specification purposes.
The properties defined are based on 4-hour immersions at room temperature
(72°F/22°C) unless otherwise noted. Samples were applied to stainless steel panels
24 hours prior to immersion and were evaluated one hour after removal from the
solution for peel adhesion. Adhesion measured at 180° peel angle (ASTM D 3330)
at 12 inches/minute.

• For maximum bond strength, surface should be thoroughly cleaned and dried.
A typical cleaning solvent is heptane or isopropyl alcohol. Note: Follow the
manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use when using solvents.
• For best bonding conditions, application surface should be at room temperature
or higher. Low temperature surfaces, below 40°F (5°C), cause the adhesive to
become firm and will not allow the adhesive to flow and develop intimate contact
with the substrate.
• Higher initial bonds can be achieved through increased rubdown pressure. Use a
rubber roller with maximum hand pressure for best results.
*Note: When using solvents, read and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and
directions for use.

Printing
Facestock is press printable with traditional flexographic process and thermal
transfer printable with high-quality thermal transfer ribbons. Whenever printing for
the first time, with a different ink system or on a new machine, we strongly
recommend carrying out proofing trials to validate ink adhesion and durability prior
to a full production run.
Die Cutting /
Converting
Rotary die cutting is recommended. Fanfolding labels is not recommended. Small
labels should be evaluated carefully. Winding tensions should be kept at a minimum
to prevent the adhesive from oozing.
Packaging
To minimize the effects of humidity, the product should be stored in plastic bags.
Low density polyethylene (2 - 4 mils) can help prevent humidity penetration and
stabilize the moisture content.
Storage
Store at room temperature conditions of 72°F (22°C) and 50% relative humidity.
Shelf Life
If stored under proper conditions, product retains its performance and properties for
two years from date of manufacture.
