UPM-Kymmene Oyj: UPM introduces receipt materials for order accuracy at quick-service restaurants

(UPM, Mills River, May 7, 2026 at 08:00 EDT) - UPM Adhesive Materials, a global supplier of innovative self-adhesive label materials, launches UPM QuickStick™ receipt materials, designed to help quick-service restaurants (QSRs) improve order accuracy and speed of servicing customers. It delivers reliable labeling performance across various food packaging surfaces, such as paper wraps, cardboard boxes, coated packaging, and plastic containers.

The UPM QuickStick portfolio addresses performance needs from repositionable applications to high-adhesion solutions suitable for sealing. It gives QSRs the flexibility to choose the right material for their operations, powering efficient order handling, kitchen organization, and delivery packaging.

In-house testing of UPM QuickStick receipts, conducted in collaboration with printer OEMs, shows fewer printer interruptions, reduced adhesive build-up, and consistent print quality. This allows restaurant teams to focus on serving customers and maintaining smooth operations rather than troubleshooting equipment.

Selected products in the portfolio are certified as CarbonNeutral® by Climate Impact Partners in accordance with The CarbonNeutral Protocol*. This enables QSRs to take measurable climate action without sacrificing performance.

"UPM QuickStick™ brings together performance, precision and sustainability - three things that matter most to our customers. With our new portfolio, we're offering a smarter way to improve order accuracy, all backed by UPM's global supply network," said Magdalena Rabska, Global Product Manager at UPM Adhesive Materials.

UPM QuickStick adhesive technologies offer a broad range of performance, including Peel, Hold and Seal options. All options are available in multiple sizes to support different printers and restaurant workflows, giving restaurants flexibility to match their operational needs.

UPM will officially unveil UPM QuickStick at the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago, IL, USA, on May 16-19, 2026.

*While UPM Adhesive Materials is working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across its offering, for these specific products, greenhouse gas emissions within the defined system boundary have been measured and offset through the purchase of verified carbon credits in accordance with The CarbonNeutral® Protocol. This means that partners can promote their printed labels as CarbonNeutral® certified.
