SELECTION REVIEW

Material Selection & Stack-Up Review

Key review factors used to match material families to application, assembly, and converting requirements.

REVIEW 01

Application Environment

Temperature, humidity, chemical exposure, UV conditions, and expected service environment all influence material suitability.

REVIEW 02

Mechanical & Assembly Conditions

Compression, gap, movement, bending, surface energy, and assembly space determine how films, foams, and adhesives should be selected.

REVIEW 03

Brand & Grade Selection

Customer-specified materials, including 3M™ adhesive grades and other supplier options, can be reviewed subject to grade, availability, documentation, and application requirements.

REVIEW 04

Converting & Release Conditions

Printing, lamination, die-cutting tolerance, liner selection, handling, and production-volume needs influence final material format and release structure.

RESPONSIBLE MATERIAL OPTIONS

Responsible Sourcing & Waste Handling

Environmental and sourcing requirements are reviewed at project level alongside material performance, construction, and documentation needs.

OPTION 01

Paper-Based Sourcing Options

Paper-based materials from FSC-certified supply chains can be reviewed for eligible projects. Any FSC product claim or logo use depends on the applicable certified chain-of-custody arrangement.

OPTION 02

EUDR Documentation Review

For applicable paper-based materials, supplier documentation can be reviewed to support customer EUDR due-diligence requirements. Availability and document scope depend on the selected material and supplier.

OPTION 03

Production Waste Handling

Core converting and die-cutting operations do not generate industrial process wastewater. Production offcuts and solid waste are sorted and transferred to contracted recycling or waste-management providers according to waste category.
