Special labels for packaging and food

Labels in special formats for packaging and food: booklet or multi-page, shrink or stretch sleeve, in-mould, compostable, peel-off, repositionable, double-sided and informative food labels such as PLU, allergen or nutrition labels. They are brand and product labels applied on the packing line, so the material, the format and the unwind direction of the roll are defined together with the customer's machine.

Three types have their own page: the peel-off coupon label for promotions, with optional unique codes; the multi-page booklet label for legal and multilingual information; and the compostable label. The other formats are quoted on request with the container diameter, the content and the way it is applied.

Typical sectors are food and beverage, cosmetics and personal care, and consumer goods for export. The legal content of the label (allergens, nutrition, composition) is defined by the customer and is not endorsed. Made or sourced to your specification.
