Conformability and Sustainability for Primary Labeling

White and clear polyethylene (PE) label films use V-127RE adhesive. They are made for labels on food, drinks, health and beauty products, and household chemical packaging label applications. 

These films provide great performance and recyclability for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) containers. According to McKinsey & Company, consumers want plastic packaging to be recyclable or to include higher levels of recycled content.

EcoFocus

What does EcoFocus® mean?


EcoFocus® is Flexcon’s mark of approval. It is for products that include sustainability features. These features can help with container recycling or composting. They may also use materials made from recycled content or sustainably sourced materials.

Recyclability

Recyclability


Using a PE film on an HDPE container helps labels work better. It also helps brands and CPG companies meet consumer demand for less waste.

Manufacturers choose eco-friendly HDPE packaging for beverages, cosmetics, personal care, and food products  with recyclable, clean-flake labels.

Avoid Darting of Labels with Conformable Materials


PE films offer superior conformability by moving with full- and semi-squeeze containers to prevent darting during consumer use.

Cross platform printability

Enjoy Ease of Printability and Excellent Performance


Cross-Platform Printability

Print-receptive PE films offer cross-platform printability and ensure printed graphics will endure. Printable via flexography, rotary letterpress, rotary screen (in-line corona treatment recommended), narrow-format UV Inkjet, and HP Indigo (primed in-line). 

Robust adhesion

Excellent Adhesion


V-127RE adhesive offers excellent adhesion to HDPE containers. As the HDPE container goes through recycling, the label stays with it. The HDPE flake can then go to the HDPE stream.

In the HDPE reclaiming process, it is important for the label to be compatible. The label will become part of the rHDPE resin pellets produced during this process.
