Packaging Labeling
Packaging Labeling refers specifically to labels applied to consumer or transport packaging for decoration, branding, or product/regulatory information. It is treated as a distinct Packaging Element alongside bottles, cans, lids, and other structural components, and is relevant for design, recyclability, and EPR reporting.
Note: Printed décor is not considered Packaging Labeling, because printed décor can be applied to any label type or directly to the main packaging element.
Label Application Types
- Glue-Attached Label (Pressure-Sensitive / Self-Adhesive)
- A label affixed to the package surface using adhesive. Substrates may be paper, film, or laminate. Intended to remain during use yet be removable in recycling.
- Sleeve (Shrink or Stretch)
- A full- or partial-body label that fits tightly around the container via heat-shrink or stretch technology, providing 360° decoration for bottles, jars, and other rigid containers.
- In-Mould Label (IML)
- A label placed in the mould before/during forming so it fuses with the container wall. Typically uses the same or compatible polymer as the container for single-step decoration.
