Durable Labels for Harsh Environments
Meat and poultry packaging demands labels that perform under refrigeration, freezing, and high humidity—all while maintaining print clarity and adhesion. Substrates like waterproof BOPP film or coated paper with a protective laminate are ideal, as they resist staining, wrinkling, and edge lift during storage, handling, and thaw cycles. Thermal transfer printing (using wax/resin or resin ribbons) is often used to ensure durable text and barcodes that withstand cold and wet conditions.
Strong Adhesion and Reliable Application
The combination of chilled packaging, condensation, and irregular surfaces can make labeling meat and poultry products tricky. That’s why choosing the right adhesive and liner combination is crucial. Cold-temperature adhesives ensure your labels stick firmly to plastic, film, or shrink-wrapped packages, even when applied in refrigerated environments. Paired with durable facestocks like polypropylene BOPP, your labels will stay put from packaging to point-of-sale—no peeling, bubbling, or slipping.
Flexible Formats & Finishes for Any Cut or Package
Whether labeling vacuum-sealed packages, butcher trays, portion packs, or poultry bags, you’ve got options. Popular choices include white BOPP film for readability and crisp contrast, clear BOPP film for a “no label” look on clean cuts, or metallic BOPP film for an eye-catching sheen. Tamper-evident seals, date/lot code printing, and barcode compatibility are also great enhancements—all while preserving the your provided visual design.
