Our papers have multiple coatings on the metallized side that offer protection against changes to room humidity. However, the non-metallized side is more reactive: high humidity can cause the paper to curl upwards, and low humidity to curl downwards. Here are some tips for storing and processing your paper to ensure you get the best possible performance:

• Here at Nissha Metallizing Solutions, we pay particular attention to how we package our products. Storing your rolls and skids indoors in their original packaging is the best way to protect them. 
• Move your metallized paper into the pressroom 24 hours or more before processing, but keep the plastic wrapping in place until products are ready to be processed. We recommend a range of 65°F to 75°F and 40% to 60% relative humidity in production areas. 
• Printing and converting can cause static cling on the metallized side. To minimise this, maintain production areas at at least 40% RH. 
• Remaining materials that have not yet been processed should be wrapped in stretch paper to minimise further moisture gain or loss. Be careful to ensure the entire roll is wrapped in order to avoid baggy edges due to moisture gain. 

Any questions? As always, the NMS team is always happy to help you make the most of our products!
