Fedrigoni launches Open & Close labels

The new range is designed for hand wipes, baby wipes, cosmetic wipes, household wipes and more - making opening easier, and ensuring secure product closure.

‘The latest market trends suggest adopting a mono-material approach (PE or BOPP) for both the flex packs and the Open & Close labels,’ said Melissa Harton, marketing manager for North America at Fedrigoni. ‘Our range of PE and BOPP constructions ensures full compatibility with this trend for soft and semi-rigid Open & Close labels. Thanks to the adhesive technology and film thicker facestocks, semi-rigid Open & Close labels are a more sustainable alternative to rigid plastic lids that are widely used by this application. Being thinner and lighter, they also reduce the quantity of waste.’

To make semi-rigid Open & Close labels more similar to rigid plastic lids, Fedrigoni Self-Adhesives has developed a patent that allows the label to remain open during use to facilitate the removal of the wet wipes from the flexible packaging. 

Combining new mono-materials for semi-rigid labels with the company’s patented multi-layer Open & Close labels makes this a unique offer for the market. Just like a rigid plastic lid, this label stays open during use, making removing the product from the packaging easier.
