Avery Dennison has a range of new products for added shelf appeal and a proprietary labelling technology for cleaner glass recycling.

It has released an emulsion acrylic, general purpose adhesive that the company claims enables top performances at high speed converting.

Faster operation, at up to 100 per cent higher converting speed, it promises to reduce converting costs and free up capacity.

With up to five times higher ‘time to stick’, it offers up to 60 per cent higher force to peel on cardboard, up to five times better high speed loop tack, and more than three times higher adhesion at lower temperatures (5°C to 0°C).

Avery Dennison says its broader temperature application range expands commercial possibilities, and the adhesive is food and fatty food approved.

New products for added shelf appeal include Aqua Opaque, a solution for the wet opacity issues in Wine & Spirits labels; and AeroDress, a self-adhesive solution for optimal shelf appeal on aerosol cans, which also increases flexibility for late stage differentiation and reduces obsolete stock without compromising on printing techniques.

Among the innovations that focus on sustainability is the introduction of a new bio-based PE product that helps end users meet their environmental sustainability goals; and Avery Dennison Glass Recycling, a proprietary labelling technology that allows clear separation of PSL from glass particles thus facilitating cleaner glass recycling.
