Label Release Liner: Looking to the Future

Ultra-thin film labelstock
After lunch, Niall Moloney, business development director for Avery Dennison Label and Packaging Materials Europe, detailed a film labelstock innovation initiative—Avery Dennison ThinStream—which enables the successful diecutting of a thin film facestock on an ultra-thin 12 micron film. The initiative, involving the use of a special cold die unit, is being commercialized in partnership with Gallus, and involves in-line delamination of the facestock, diecutting, and relamination.
