Packaging Solutions Label Solutions
Innovia Films will be showcasing its latest portfolio for the labels, packaging and graphics industries at Labelexpo Americas.
Some of the highlights are sustainable and functional BOPP label materials for pressure sensitive, wrap around and in-mould labels along with Rayofloat shrink sleeve film specifically developed to support the recycling of PET, HDPE and PP bottles and containers.
‘As the industry leading filmic label solution provider for all major decorations technologies, we have been working on materials that not only follow the principle of reduce, reuse and recycle but also support recycling of the finished package, while at the same time providing the right barrier functions needed to prevent food waste,’ explained Jon Knight, vice president and general manager – Americas.
Thinner films that support material efficiency and have a lower carbon footprint. ‘With continued capital investment in the pressure sensitive label segment including top coating and extrusion we have new technologies that offer unparalleled performance while improving sustainability,’ said Jon.
Innovia will be presenting its newest innovations in the market with our
semi-solid film has an enhanced yield and opacity compared with solid white films.
The company recently announced the extension of its low density, floatable polyolefin (PO) RayoFloat shrink sleeve that is a sustainable alternative for existing materials that are detrimental to recycling. The RayoFloat material has been endorsed by APR (Association of Plastic Recyclers) as being compatible with existing waste streams in the United States.
‘We are proud to share our extended range of floatable shrink sleeves that work in established PET, HDPE and PP waste streams,’ said Jon. ‘We can now offer several options – from a high shrink version to a thinner version to a white version that is ideal for light-sensitive products like dairy, vitamins and supplements.’
Rayoart PVC Free Graphic Films significantly lower the environmental impact of self-adhesive graphics. They are based on biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP), a type of plastic with clear sustainability advantages that is inherently more recyclable compared to PVC. These innovative graphic films are suitable for most short and intermediate indoor and outdoor applications and offer a product performance comparable to PVC based graphic films.
‘We are excited to showcase these innovations to our customers and other visitors at the Labelexpo Americas and discuss how these filmic materials can help deliver a better future for our industry and facilitate our stakeholders goals of redesigning packaging to become more circular,’ concluded Jon.
Labelexpo Americas will take place from September 10 to 12 in Chicago. Innovia will be exhibiting in hall A, booth 1221.
