Sihl has announced a newly launched inkjet label film made with 90% post consumer recycled (PCR) BOPET.
The Sihl product portfolio is continuously being expanded and converted to include more sustainable products. A total of five PCR-based products are currently available: two transparent inkjet films (7054/7858) with 50 and 80 μm thickness, one transparent film for laser printing with approx. 60 μm thickness (7063) and one white and one silver inkjet film with 80 μm thickness each (7809/7854).
According to Sihl, the products have the same mechanical properties, making them easy to process. So, just like the rest of the range, they are easy to work with and offer identical benefits: Fast drying, with high color brilliance, sharpedged
prints and good water resistance.
The facestock range includes BOPP and PET films in various sizes and colors. Combined with the right adhesive, they support recycling efforts, be it through the option of mono-packaging or automatic sorting during recycling.
"To reduce CO2 emissions, many of our products are available with DUAL printing technology. This reduces inventory along the entire logistics chain, as only one product is needed for at least two printing technologies, such as inkjet and laser," the company says, adding it also saves resources through carefully considered selection of materials and offers water-based inkjet products with reduced weight. Compared to the corresponding PET or BOPP grades, the total weight is reduced by up to 40 per cent. This increases productivity by 30–50% more labels per roll.
