Dr Carol Lawrence, environment and sustainability specialist at UPM Raflatac Oceania
Self-adhesive labelling has evolved as the most widely used method of product decoration, being innovative and versatile for such a wide variety of packages.
This half-day training course is designed to give a comprehensive guide to labelling and how to navigate through the myriad of options available for each style of packaging.
Objectives of the course include an understanding of the types of adhesives and their properties, which have been designed with specific selection criteria in mind, is key to the selection of the right label: permanent, removable, repositionable and wash-off adhesives and chemical composition of adhesives and approvals for use on foods or pharmaceuticals.
Then, having selected the adhesive, how do you combine the adhesive and label face to achieve optimum performance? To make the right selection requires answers to many complex questions so the performance of the label is tailored to the specific conditions that the package has to withstand.
All of these questions will be discussed in detail together with case studies to illustrate the importance of considering all the key attributes of the product being labelled, including:
- Packaging substrate – cardboard, glass, rigid/flexible plastics
- Labelling and in-service temperature considerations
- Moisture or condensation whilst labelling
- Label printing method and the need for the addition of variable information
- Sustainable label criteria and waste management
- Impact of the label on package recyclability
- Compostable labels and Tamperproof labels
All industry is invited to attend the course. To find out more visit the events section on www.aipack.com.au or email for a registration form.
