Provided is a printable coating, printable media and printable labels thereof, usable in both inkjet and direct thermal printing applications. The coating comprises leuco dye blended into an inkjet coating formulation, wherein the coating is applied on the first face of an appropriate paper or film to form the printable media. The coating may be applied as a single, homogenous topcoat thereby streamlining the manufacturing process and reducing potential printing errors. The coating may provide a printable area compatible for use with both direct thermal printers and inkjet printers. On the opposite face of the paper or film, an adhesive may be applied, in combination with an optional release liner, to form printable label stock. Each step of the process, e.g. application of the coating, application of the adhesive and liner, and die-cutting of labels, may occur in any order combination relative to one another. In addition, reverse printing may also be utilized to print and form the labels.

A multilayer laminate such as a label assembly having high opacity and desirable appearance characteristics is described. The laminate includes a facestock layer, an adhesive layer, and a liner layer. The facestock layer includes a print-receiving top coat layer that includes a combination of titanium dioxide and one or more optical brighteners. The combination of these materials avoids build up of static charges upon laser printing on the facestock.

The present invention relates to a plastic panel construction with improved resistance to heat build. An outdoor weatherable panel comprises a substrate having an upper surface, a decorative layer disposed about the upper surface of the substrate, and a size coat layer disposed between the decorative layer and the substrate, where the size coat layer comprises an additive that is reflective to infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, or both. The additive can be a color pigment, a white pigment, a metallic pigment, or a combination of two of more thereof. The modified size coat layer provides a construction with excellent properties and improved resistance to heat build.
