Shrink Tape Label for Superfine Tonic

For years Irplast has been the main supplier of the historic beverage brand Tassoni.

For Superfine Tonic - Tassoni’s latest creation, proposed in the characteristic ripple effect glass bottle - Irplast provided for the application of the Shrink Tape Label, heatshrink preglued reel-fed without liner.
Due to the high heat shrinking, the label (applied by the Adhesleeve machine by PE Labellers, partners of Irplast in numerous projects) adheres perfectly to the bottle, thus showing the characteristic processing of the bottle that would otherwise be lost with the application of a traditional label.
The shrink is so perfect that the Tassoni tonic bottle even feels “rough” in the area where the label is applied, whose ease of removal, together with the absence of residual glue on the bottle, ensure the excellent recyclability of the materials.

Irplast, a leading packaging operator at European level, is a vertically integrated Italian company (going frm the production of biaxially oriented polypropylene film, to the printing of labels and adhesive tapes).
Its Shrink Label Tape, ideal for packaging beverage, food and detergents for wrap-around applications (roll-fed labels), ensure economies of management, high productivity in application, environmental friendliness and sustainability, aspects the latter determined by the elimination of the hot glue station in the labeling process and the reduction of fumes and line stops for cleaning.
Preglued linerless labeling is proposed as a viable alternative to the use of shrink sleeves on containers whose shape require a medium-to-low degree of heat shrinkage. In fact the adhesives (formulated according to strict criteria of environmental sustainability) are fully compatible with plastic film shrink process and give the right grip. In the Shrink Tape Label production phase, adhesive is customized according to the needs of each application: for standard bottles in PET, for those in HDPE with rough surfaces and for smooth and/or processed glass bottles. The adhesive surface is sectorially registered.
