Lecta presents an extensive new range of Termax products for the demanding, dynamic thermal paper segment, the result of deep technical know-how and years of experience in manufacturing specialty papers. Over the last years, Lecta completed a strategic investment plan prioritizing its heat-sensitive papers: a new base paper machine, a complete modernization of the coating preparation kitchen and a new coating line, installed in the Leitza mill (Spain) in 2018. Today, our new thermal facilities are equipped with two state-of-the art coating lines completely devoted to thermal paper, fully automated packaging lines and winding machines that provide a high-quality finish. In its new catalogue "Moving with your business", Lecta presents a renovated Termax paper range designed to meet the specific requirements of POS, ticket and label applications. Termax provides real end-use performance papers for converters and pressure-sensitive adhesive manufacturers, with high quality standards, perfect direct thermal printing results and numerous advantages.
