Food Industry Shrink Sleeve Labeling Solution for Plastic Buckets
The challenges you face
Our business is to find solutions for you.
Label peeling during bucket shrinkage
In the food industry, many products are packaged in plastic buckets that deform slightly during cooling, filling, or stacking. This plastic shrinkage puts labels under significant stress.
Impacts of this issue:
- Labels peeling off during storage or transport.
- Poor product identification.
- Risk of errors during order picking.
- Packaging non-compliance with regulatory requirements.
- Damage to brand image among distributors and consumers.
Adhesion difficulties on certain plastics
Not all plastic buckets have the same surface characteristics. Some materials, such as polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE), have low surface energy, which makes bonding particularly complex.
The consequences:
- Poor label adhesion.
- Bubbles or creases during application.
- Premature peeling despite proper application.
- Loss of productivity due to manual rework.
Adhesive labels designed to handle the challenges of plastic
Our labeling solutions have been specifically developed for plastic packaging used in the food industry.
Thanks to a rigorous selection of materials and technical adhesives, our labels remain perfectly bonded to the surface, even when the bucket undergoes shrinkage or dimensional changes.
We conduct tests on our clients' packaging to determine the most effective adhesive combination based on:
- the bucket material,
- its surface treatment,
- filling conditions,
- storage temperatures,
- logistical requirements.
Our solutions ensure durable identification throughout the production and distribution chain.
The benefits of our food-grade labels
- Excellent adhesion on difficult plastics (PE, PP, etc.)
- Resistance to bucket shrinkage
- Very good performance in cold, humid, and condensation-prone environments
- High-quality printing of barcodes, QR codes, and variable data
- Compatible with industrial printers
- Materials compliant with food industry requirements
- Technical support and testing on your packaging
- Custom manufacturing
Adhesion that adapts to deformation
Plastic buckets can shrink after filling or during their logistics cycle.
Our adhesives are formulated to maintain their bonding strength despite these movements, preventing:
- peeling corners,
- creasing,
- bubbling,
- loss of identification.
High resistance to food industry requirements
Our labels offer excellent resistance to:
- moisture,
- cold,
- condensation,
- repeated handling,
- friction during transport,
- demanding logistics environments.
Flawless print quality
Because traceability is essential in the food industry, our labels ensure:
- perfect barcode readability,
- excellent thermal print quality,
- reliable identification throughout the product's lifespan.
Our specialty: custom solutions
Every bucket has its own unique requirements.
We develop the solution tailored to your industrial environment.
We customize, in particular:
- Label dimensions
- Roll or sheet format
- Paper or synthetic film
- Blank or color printing
- Barcode or QR Code
- Variable numbering
- Logo and brand identity
- Protective varnish if necessary
Before final approval, we conduct adhesion tests to ensure optimal performance under your specific operating conditions.
