Fort Dearborn Offers Shrinkable Cut and Stack Labels

ELK GROVE, IL—July 25, 2013—Fort Dearborn Company has introduced an innovative Shrinkable Cut and Stack label to its product line. The label combines the application benefits of cut and stack labels with the shelf impact of a shrink sleeve for a winning combination.

With an OPP-based film structure, the label offers up to 15 percent shrink and overcomes the challenges of traditional cut and stack that are limited to straight wall container applications. Since the label is provided in cut and stack format, existing cut and stack application equipment with hot melt adhesives can be used to apply the labels along with a dry heat tunnel.

Typical applications include beverages such as Nestlé Waters’ Aquapod bubbled-shaped bottle with colorful graphics that’s designed to be fun for kids. The label has a variety of application possibilities including other slightly contoured containers as well as tapered aluminum cans (inventory reduction over preprinted and pre-decorated).
