Wax
Flat-Head

is our best-selling wax grade as it provides very good printing on all paper surfaces, at different settings and with all flat-head printers.

Thanks to its excellent price-performance ratio, it offers the optimal solution, even for large quantities and price-sensitive applications. In addition, its high sensitivity protects the print head and ensures high mileage. The print is relatively smudge-resistant for a wax quality.
