Pressure sensitive labelstock manufacturer UPM Raflatac has announced the availability of shrink sleeve materials, pre-slit for narrow web printers and delivered through its Fast Web service for non-adhesive materials in smaller quantities.
RafShrink PET Pentafilm 45 is the first of these available quickly from stock and in low minimum order quantities, and the company says it will deliver the product ex-stock in "as little as 96 hours". Orders start from 3,600sqm, in 300, 400, 500, 600 and 800mm roll widths.
“Sleeves are capturing market share across many segments including food, beverage and home and personal care,” says UPM Raflatac business segment specialist Katja Kivelä.
“They are especially effective as a response to brand-owners’ rapidly changing promotional needs," he says. "RafShrink PET Pentafilm 45 is a top quality material sourced from one of the biggest names in shrink sleeves – Klöckner Pentaplast.
"Narrow web printers now have the flexibility to fulfil even the smallest shrink sleeve orders on short lead times. Using this much demanded PET material, they can also compete for small tenders with minimal financial outlay.”
