Narrow
web specialist Pulse Roll Label Products Ltd has switched from its existing 1
ply labelling for packaging of its inks, coatings and varnishes to using
multi-layer, multi-lingual self-adhesive labels, printed with its own PurePeel
UV flexo peel and read release varnish. In
co-operation with leading self-adhesive label producer, Skanem Cardiff, the new
labels have been designed and printed to incorporate H- (hazard) and P-
(precautionary statements) phrases in English as well as 20 other languages. The
new 3 ply peel and read labels provide 5 printable areas for information which
means that Pulse Roll Label Products now requires just one label for all its
product packaging requirements.
Colin
Stafford, Operations Director, Skanem UK, said, “Skanem offers innovative
labelling solutions to customers across different market segments including
home and personal care, premium wine and spirits. Our expertise in printing
peel and read labels combined with the fact that we already use Pulse Roll
Label Products’ PurePeel release coating for printing multi-layer labels, meant
that this project partnership made perfect sense. The high performance PurePeel
UV flexo release varnish is suitable for use across a wide range of
applications and has excellent printability and repeatable release properties –
a market requirement especially for markets such as industrial products that
carry safety and hazard warnings. For release varnish, PurePeel is our coating
of choice for the growing peel and read label market.”
Mikaela
Harding, Product Manager, Pulse Roll Label Products said, “As part of our drive
for continuous improvement, we are constantly looking at different areas of the
business where we can increase efficiencies. The move to a multi-layer design
for our product packaging streamlines our process and fully complies with the
latest labelling regulations.”
PurePeel
is formulated to provide repeatable release properties and adhesion on a
variety of substrates for application on a wide range of packaging, containers
and bottles. This provides an ideal solution for brand owners allowing extra
space on pack for consumer product and safety information, user instructions
and multiple languages, but without sacrificing graphics, visual appeal and impact
on shelf.
This
is particularly relevant for product packaging and labelling in the personal
and beauty care, household, pharmaceutical and industrial sectors. Because
of its free radical UV formulation, PurePeel can be used on any printing
machine at any time, significantly reducing waste and press clean-up times,
improving production efficiencies and overcoming issues often associated with
the use of cationic systems on press.
Pulse
Roll Label Products will be exhibiting on stand G12 at Label&Print 2019,
located alongside Packaging Innovations at the NEC from 27-28 February 2019.
