Taghleef Industries launches floatable shrink film at Labelexpo Europe 2017

TDS is the new film for TD shrink sleeve labels developed by Taghleef Industries. The low density polyolefin polymers make Ti’s film an ultra-clear floatable film that minimizes the impact on PET recycling systems and reduces the weight of the label.
 The product has exceptional shrink curve, in transverse direction (TD), and guarantees up to 65 percent shrinkage, offering the potential for 360-degree label designs. TDS’ low shrink force enables the labeling of empty and thin containers, and avoids the risk of squeezing risk.

Also at Labelexpo Europe, Taghleef showcased its specialty label films range, available for PSL facestock applications as well as over-laminations, in-mold labeling, and wrap around roll-fed labels. Each film is designed according to labeling application, for either over-lamination or primary print substrate, and are suitable for gravure, flexo, offset, UV and in some cases digital printing. They offer special finishes, which capture consumer attention:

The company is also showing: an extra matte finish soft touch with tactile properties creates a smooth, soft effect to transmit a luxurious sensation; anti-scratch films with gloss, matte and silky-matte finishes ensure scuff and abrasion resistance; and anti-bacterial films provide an extra layer of protection for hygiene, personal care and infant nutrition products by killing 99.9 percent of bacteria that come into contact with the surface.

Taghleef additionally expanded one of its newest developments in the PSL portfolio is LSG. It is a white voided, high yield facestock film with high whiteness and gloss.
