OPTICAL INCLUSION

摘要

Some full-wrap shrink-sleeve labels can confuse optical sorters and degrade recycled resins, which is bad news for PET plastic reclaimers. Yet the labeling formal is anything but a waning trend. More and more PET bottles employ the labels, which use wraparound graphics to entice consumers to pluck the product off the shelf. In fact, nearly one-fifth of the container market now incorporates the labeling format, and it is one of the fastest-growing label segments, experiencing a 5.5 percent compound annual growth rate, according to international labels company UPM RaHatac.
