Label Constructions Meet Canadian Recycling Protocol

Among the new Avery constructions meeting the protocol, the 54# Semi-Gloss paper with AT-1 adhesive is the most dynamic. The combination of a semi-gloss paper with an all-temperature adhesive provides brands the opportunity to design labels with rich, deep graphics for products stored at temperatures ranging from about -65° F to +250° F. In addition to its all-temperature performance characteristics, AT-1 was also selected for the label construction based on its impact on the recycling process. Unlike some washable adhesives, AT-1’s properties minimize the chance of contaminating a recycler’s caustic solution and are aqueous-friendly.
