Shrink Labels

Packaging and labels have become an important factor in customer loyalty, shelf appeal, and brand recognition. Shrink sleeves and labels are plastic materials applied to containers, allowing for 360-degree coverage and a large amount of space for branding, regulatory information, and imagery. Adhesives are sometimes used to secure shrink sleeves to bottles, cans, and other types of packaging. These adhesives are not tacky until they are heated above their activation temperature, and they provide exceptional clarity, so as not to interfere with branding and information on the label. They are activated at relatively low temperatures so that the labels themselves, which are heat sensitive, do not melt and distort. Bostik adhesives for shrink label applications are listed below.
