Taghleef Industries unveils new shrink film

Taghleef Industries has introduced a new TDS film for TD shrink sleeve labels, which features low-density polyolefin polymers.

This makes the film an ultra-clear floatable solution minimising the impact on PET recycling systems and reduces the weight of the label.

Speaking at the press conference, Emanuela Bardi of Taghleef, said, “The USP of the new film is its exceptional shrink curve in transverse direction (TD) that guarantees up to 65% shrinkage, offering the freedom to fully decorate containers in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and the potential for 360° eye-catching label graphics.”

TDS’ low shrink force enables the labelling of empty and thin containers eliminating the squeezing risk.

Besides this, Taghleef is showcasing its speciality label films range, available for PSL facestock applications as well as over-laminations, and in-mould and wrap-around labels. 

The special finishes include extra matte finish Softtouch with tactile properties, anti-scratch films with gloss, matte and silky-matte finishes for scuff and abrasion resistance and the anti-bacterial films provide an extra layer of protection for hygiene, personal care and infant nutrition products by killing 99.9% of bacteria that come into contact with the surface.
