Shrink PS also enables manufacturers to reduce or do away with multiple sets of pre-printed shrink bag inventories and provides decoration for seasonal and short-run opportunities, while decreasing obsolescence and overall costs.
Dan Galovic, Avery Dennison Label and Packaging Materials market segment leader – food, said the new labelling solution enhances its customers’ brands and provides production-related benefits.
“This is a great example of how Avery Dennison can help customers solve difficult packaging challenges and take advantage of seasonal and short-term marketing opportunities,” Galovic said.
According to the company, the new Shrink PS can be applied for processed and fresh meats, pork and poultry products.
