Tapes and Labels

Food and Beverage Labelling

Requirements for food safe packaging are paramount today with manufactures demanding speciality labels to stand out on shelf and sell product. Our solutions are perfect for food and other challenging applications such as the pharmaceutical industry, and we provide comprehensive product and production documentation which provides all the information needed to give users piece of mind. Henkel also have low migration, mineral oil free products for direct food labels which significantly reduces migration along with peel and reseal options.

Solutions for beverage labelling are also available that are compatible with recycling processes. Glass and plastic bottles require labels that look great for customers and can be washed of easily as part of the recycling chain. Our Aquence PS adhesives are ready for the challenge with options for paper and filmic labels, and are perfect for use of gravure coating equipment.

General Purpose Labels

The markets for general purpose labels, both permanent and non-permanent, are many and speed and efficiency are paramount to keep costs low and output high. The adhesive used is vital as if the adhesive used is not fit for purpose stoppages and prolonged downtime are inevitable. Our focus is to ensure Interlock Adhesives provides the right Henkel adhesive for your application to avoid any issues and most importantly produce the best product possible. We have grades that cover all areas including sheet labels, document enclosed envelopes and tricky surfaces such as car tyres.

Take your adhesive to the next level with Technomelt PS 8484 which contains 70% raw materials from renewable sources! On top of that Technomelt PS 8484 has excellent performance at low application temperatures.

Removeable Labels

Applications where the label or cover needs to be removed and then reapplied need to be reliable for extend use. Products such as baby wipes require a smooth peel and subsequent repeal, and very good anchorage to filmic substrates.  Our options include hotmelt, water-based, UV hotmelt and solvent based adhesives, so whatever your requirements we have a solution.

Linerless Labels

Linerless labels are an excellent step towards sustainability as they don’t need a backer to the label. Linerless labels also reduces manufacturing costs and throughput. The versatility of linerless labels allows them to be used in many different applications such as e-commerce, in supermarket fruit and veg, mobile printers and takeaway restaurants.
