(NEW YORK) – September 2009 – Before it’s sold, it has to be packaged, and no paper makes a product shine like YUPO.
“When it comes to packaging, YUPO synthetic paper provides extraordinary label, design and marketing possibilities,” said Troy Olson, sales and marketing manager, Technical Products Group. Hundreds of brand managers and marketers attending the HBA Global Expo here this month discovered for themselves YUPO’s many now-famous attributes.
YUPO is waterproof, resists stains and chemicals, is 100% tree-free, durable, tear and scratch resistant, and holds ink beautifully. Such unique attributes make YUPO synthetic paper a perfect choice for many applications – unique package design, high-end displays, POP materials, shelf talkers, tags and more, according to Olson.

As the premiere synthetic paper for labels, YUPO offers the widest portfolio of in-mold label grades for blow-molded bottles for the premium decorating technique, said Olson.
YUPO’s base stock is supplied to converters for several applications including:
- In-Mold Labels (IML)
- Pressure Sensitive Labels
- Direct Thermal and Thermal Transfer Labels
- Linerless Labels
YUPO In-Mold-Label (IML) grades are synthetic label substrates that allow designers the freedom to create blow-molded bottles of any design or shape. YUPO IML is a fully recyclable decoration solution that has no liner or liner waste and does not use any adhesive glue. Available in opaque, clear and metallic, YUPO IML substrates allow recessed panels, inclines, asymmetrical features and applications like hot foil and fluorescent and metallic inks.
YUPO Pressure Sensitive face stock offers significant advantages over traditional pressure sensitive face stock papers and films: https://www.yupoamerica.com/paper/pressure-sensitive

YUPO Direct Thermal base stock is available in multiple grades, making it the perfect substrate for many retail, transportation and industrial applications, such as bar code tags and wristbands in medical facilities. YUPO Thermal Transfer base stock is available in multiple grades; its smooth finish provides an excellent substrate for uniform coating, which results in precise thermal transfer. Designed for high-resolution printing, precise die cutting and lamination for enhanced bar code protection, YUPO Thermal Transfer is exceptionally durable, maintaining its integrity, even when subjected to frequent handling and extreme environmental conditions. https://www.yupoamerica.com/paper/thermal-labels-and-tags
YUPO IML substrates offer designers and manufacturers significant sustainability benefits, and therefore value, resulting from both general YUPO attributes and label processing methods:
- YUPO is a 100% tree-free substrate.
- During the IML process, YUPO actually becomes part of blow-molded bottles and is recyclable as part of the packaging. Thus, no chemicals are required for label removal.
- YUPO IML requires no backing materials, resulting in significant source reduction and decrease in waste products.
- Completely recyclable, trim materials are able to be assimilated back into the substrate manufacture process. https://www.yupoamerica.com/paper/iml-sustainability-benefits
