ICON Envelope Master

High performance, 1.8mm gauge, self adhesive blanket for envelope printing

Envelope Master is a 1.8mm highly compressible self adhesive blanket for envelope printing.
The carcass is manufactured from only the highest quality long staple cotton yarns, and the fabric plies are woven to rigorous specifications providing good mechanical properties. Envelope Master incorporates the latest closed cell compressible layer technology with a carefully chosen blend of compounding ingredients and polymers for the adhesion coats and for the lithographic printing surface. The precision buffed surface finish provides excellent ink transfer and sheet releasing properties.
