KLÖCKNER PENTAPLAST INTRODUCES PENTALABEL® ROLL-SLEEVE FILMS FOR HIGH SHELF APPEAL AND HIGH-VOLUME APPLICATIONS

The Pentalabel® film product line has been extended to include Pentalabel® PETG roll-sleeve films for shrink-label packaging. This innovative film solution provides brand owners the high shelf impact of full-body shrink sleeves for their high-volume applications. Pentalabel® roll-sleeve films can be used for full- or partial-body coverage with a wide array of container configurations. By using Pentalabel® roll-sleeve films, brand owners can
achieve the same 360° superior graphics of shrink-sleeve films with the high efficiency and speed of roll-on and paper labels. These innovative films are engineered to be processed on existing roll-fed label machinery with minimal additional investment. Pentalabel® films are offered globally. Klöckner Pentaplast is the only supplier that produces roll-sleeve film on two continents – North America and Europe. With over 20 years of polyester production experience, Klöckner Pentaplast is a leading global producer of rigid polyester films.
Pentalabel® PETG roll-sleeve films provide the best shrinkage capabilities (over 20%) available in the marketplace today. Greater shrinkage properties ensure smooth seams and the ability to shrink to simple and multiple contour containers made of plastic, glass, or metal; thereby, providing design flexibility for maximum shelf appeal. Pentalabel® PETG roll-sleeve films have a low shrink-initiation temperature so minimal shrink tunnel length is required for energy savings and high-output line speed.
Pentalabel® PETG roll-sleeve films provide an attractive total system cost due to high-speed labeling, low scrap rate, quick changeover, and wide-web printing.

Pentalabel® PETG roll-sleeve films are available in transparent clear with a gloss/gloss surface finish. These films are suitable for gravure, flexographic, and rotary offset printing; run on existing printing equipment using conventional inks; work with heat-bar, solvent, hot-melt adhesive, and laser seaming; and use steam or hot-air shrink tunnels. Pentalabel® PETG roll-sleeve films are ideal for beverage, dairy, food, and healthcare label applications.
“As a worldwide leader in the production of rigid polyester films and a trusted source for shrinklabel films, we are exceptionally well positioned to deliver total solutions like Pentalabel® PETG rollsleeve films,” notes Michael Ryan, Klöckner Pentaplast’s group vice president, strategic marketing. “These pioneering films give customers the option of creating high-impact labels and container configurations while maintaining high efficiency.”
