Dress your labels in green: Maca provides the ideal solution to be “green” even with sleeves. Let’s talk about stretch sleeves:
Made of polyethylene, a fully recyclable material
• Cost savings of up to 50% compared to shrink systems and ROSO systems
• Up to 30% less in use of materials compared to the shrink materials (smaller layout, lower environmental impact in terms of carbon footprint), therefore a substantial reduction in the weight of the packaging
• 360 ° visibility
• Bright graphics and intense colours
• Perfect fitting to the shape of the container even with shaped profiles
• Possibility to apply stretch labels also on containers with a petaloid bottom
• There is no need for glue or the use of heat, with a drastic reduction in the use of energy
• Full compatibility in terms of recycling, easy separation of the label from the container
• Excellent resistance to chemical agents
• Resistance to UV exposures
• Formats from 0,20 lt bottles to drums, crates and large kegs
There is a solution and Maca is ready to offer their skills to provide solutions that protect public health and the environment. How often have we heard the words “environmental friendly”? How many times does the customer make requests for special materials, for applications that facilitate the removal of the sleeve from the container and recycling according to the regulations in force?
It is a constant request, especially in all those parts of the globe that have been taking action for at least a decade to raise awareness among producers and consumers for conscious use and disposal of packaging.
