About Translucent Paper Tabs

WaferSeals.com uses the best Translucent Paper available on the market today and has developed a trouble free Translucent Paper Tab that eliminates the most common problems associated with tab application. We use a 2.4 mil Translucent Paper, which is ideal for fast tab application. We avoid fracturing the liner when die cutting to eliminate web breaks when tabbing. For more information about the quality of WaferSeals.com tabs see our quality assurance page and warranty.

Translucent Paper is more expensive than White Paper and less costly than Clear Wafer Seals. Translucent Paper Tabs are less noticeable than White Paper Tabs but, not as invisible as Clear Tabs. The difference between Translucent Paper and White Paper is contained in the material spec under opacity. Translucent Paper is 35% opaque and White Paper is 87% opaque, which means you can see through Translucent Paper easier than White Paper. Translucent Label Paper was created largely for the mailing industry, therefore, the very design of the material makes this a great choice for mailing projects that are multicolor.
