Alternative to TrueBlock Material on Rolls

As a substitute to true block material on WePrint Rolls, when looking for a cover-up label, the best alternative is to use chrome film with a flood coat of white underprint.


It is important that the white is flood coated as this will simulate a normal face stock. The textbook definition of a flood coat is as follows:

A method of coating; flood coating is when a coat is applied to the full surface of a face material or substrate, leaving no part of the surface exposed. However, where over coating refers to the process of adding a coating to the entire surface of a face material or substrate, flood coating can be used to refer to the process of applying an adhesive (in the construction of a pressure-sensitive label), colourant (to produce a coloured material), printing inks (to produce a coloured background), or a protective or decorative coating (to improve the appearance of a substrate, enhance the quality of the print, or to protect a substrate).
