| Direct Silkscreen Printing |
| Silkscreen printing of decoration––both graphics and text––directly onto a package surface is one of the most popular and widely used forms of bottle decoration. Both brand owners and consumers prefer the “direct print” format because screen-printed decoration tends to remain solidly in place during use, while labels can fall or be torn off. Screen-printing is especially applicable on packaging of personal care products and other products that are typically used in wet or humid environments |
| Pressure Sensitive Labeling |
| The label structure consists of the label film and a carrier film that is removed as the label is applied. PS materials are typically made from either high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP), though there are also coextrusion blends available. The label structures can be uni- or biaxially oriented, or can be cast films. |
| Shrink Sleeve |
| Shrink sleeves tend to be most popular for high-value products for which brand owners want dramatic shelf presence. Typically made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene or polyvinylidene chloride (PVdC), shrink sleeves can accommodate a broad range of printing techniques. A powerful marketing attribute is their ability to deliver a full 360 degree billboard effect. |
