UPM Raflatac is offering new full-wrap solutions with self-adhesive labels for food packaging.

Global supplier of pressure sensitive label materials, UPM Raflatac, has been working with Multivac to develop new full-wrap solutions for food packaging.

With full-wrap self-adhesive labelling, a label encloses four sides of a pack, similar to a banderole, offering various possibilities in the design of the pack and contributing to the attractiveness of these packs at point of sale.

Self-adhesive full-wrap solutions offer great flexibility with the shape and design of the label and maximise product visibility as well as area for branding.

They are ideal for several types of packs, including vacuum skin packs, thermoformed MAP packs as well as trays and clamshells in a range of shapes and materials.

As the labels are held by the carrier material, they also can be shaped to fit perfectly, even with curves and cut-outs, to specific food and packages.

Full wrap with self-adhesive labels is also a sustainable solution as the backing paper from full wrap can be recycled with UPM Raflatac's RafCycle program and turned into new paper.

The ACCC has instituted court proceedings against Clorox Australia, owner of GLAD-branded kitchen and garbage bags, over alleged false claims that bags were partly made of recycled 'ocean plastic'.

In news that is disappointing but not surprising given the recent reports on the unfolding Qenos saga, the new owner of Qenos has placed the company into voluntary administration. The closure of the Qenos Botany facility has also been confirmed.

An agreement struck between Cleanaway and Viva Energy will see the two companies undertake a prefeasibility assessment of a circular solution for soft plastics and other hard-to-recycle plastics.
