Label Films director Americas Bob Schantz said: "We strive to help improve the efficiencies of the recycling process while maintaining the highest levels of brand presence and consumer impact.

"Meeting these marketing and performance requirements and addressing the clarity of the label affords brand owners an opportunity to meet multiple variables in the decision making equation."

Meanwhile, LV PETG Films with Y460 Coating provides high-resolution digital printing solutions for shrink-sleeve packaging.

The Y460 Coating facilitates a seamed sleeve that can be applied either by hand or mechanically at high speeds.

Adhe clear overprint varnish (OPV) applied on top of the ink surface of the coating enables high-speed application.
