OSAKA SEALING PRINTING CO., LTD. (Head office: Tennoji-ku, Osaka City; President: Matsuguchi Tadashi), a core company of the OSP Group and a one-stop manufacturer of stickers, labels, Carton Package, and promotional tools, is pleased to announce that it has succeeded in developing a "two-color top seal thermal."

This product is a top-seal thermal label partially coated with two colors of thermal ink, black and red, and offers three benefits in terms of reducing materials. First, the red printing increases visibility, eliminating the need for promotional materials (POP stickers). Second, the container is top-sealed, eliminating the need for a lid container. Third, thermal printing is possible, eliminating the need for printing ribbons. Furthermore, the technology cultivated in seal manufacturing makes partial coating possible, and the parts not thermally coated can be made transparent, allowing the visual appeal of the contents. It was developed with the expectation that it will be used mainly by food manufacturers and prepared food manufacturers.

*The printed content is provisional.

■ Development Background

The OSP Group is working on developing environmentally friendly products from the perspective of reducing CO2 emissions and achieving the SDGs. Rather than being limited to plastic-free films, we are developing products with the aim of considering what characteristics our products will be used in and what kind of products will help solve social issues.
We began developing this product with the idea that it would help with the environment by reducing the amount of materials used, reduce costs for our customers, and also help reduce the number of people required by eliminating the need to affix POP stickers to promotional materials.
