Barrier Coat - What is a barrier coat?
Answer:
A type of coating; a coat that is applied to the bottom surface of a face material (the surface that receives the adhesive layer as opposed to the surface that is printed). A barrier coat is designed to promote adhesion between the face material and the adhesive, to prevent migration of the adhesive into the face material, and can also be used to increase the opacity of a label.
