Sihl’s first inkjet film based on 90 % PCR

Sihl has launched its first inkjet film based on 90% PCR (Post Consumer Recycled) BOPET. The film offers identical product benefits to its non-PCR counterpart and is ideally suited for razor-sharp product labels in print on demand. In addition to the resource-saving grades with reduced weight, this is another step towards a “green” range.

 

7054 PICOFILM CPr-50 gloss IHG1, a transparent Facestock film for the production of product labels. The front side with a glossy coating for variable information printing with water-based inkjet is suitable for both dye and pigment inks.

 

The product has similar mechanical properties like the non-PCR grades (7858/7852), while offering identical benefits such as fast drying, with high colour brilliance, sharp-edged prints and good water resistance.

 

Sihl Facestock coatings combined with print-on-demand printing technology boasts to make it easier and more affordable to produce exactly the amount of labels needed while meeting customers’ personalisation requirements. This reduces waste and CO2 emissions enormously.
