Both provide greater than 40% shrinkage in the machine direction on
highly-contoured containers in hot air, infra-red and combination
shrink tunnels. The label films are suitable for use with traditional
hot melt adhesive, solvent, or ultra-violet curable adhesive as well as
with laser and ultrasonic seaming systems. Films offer minimal
cross-direction shrinkage and low shrink. They can provide the
eye-catching appeal of full-body contoured labels using high speed
roll-fed equipment while reducing off-line seaming and the inspection
steps typical in the production of traditional transverse-direction
shrink sleeves.
