How Food & Beverage Industry is Enhancing the Sales of Foam Labels?

Microwavable pots are often utilized in microwave food markets. The foam label offers a thermal insulating boundary between the hot food inside the microwavable pots and the consumer's hand. The insulating property of the foam not only provides thermal protection but also keeps the food warm for long period. The foam labels offer protection properties around the glass bottles which helps in avoiding the damage which may be caused during the transportation of the bottles. The foam labels offer an insulating barrier to cold containers. This helps to keep the product colder for a long period, which helps the brand maximize its selling point. Thus, the market share of foam labels will surge in the forecasted period.

Why PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is Considered the Most Preferred Material for the Manufacturing of Foam Labels?

PET is a plastic resin and it is one of the common polyesters. Foam labels manufactured using PET are more durable against heat, various chemicals, and UV. Foam labels made from PET material have excellent mechanical resistance, and good tensile strength, which helps in avoiding the crease. The foam label derived from PET has an ideal application ranging from 1 -3 years and goes up to 5 - 10 years. In extension to thermal transfer printing, foam labels made up of PET can also be printed by the traditional roll label method. Depending on the application of the foam label derived from the PET have more durability and possesses very strong adhesive properties. The service temperature for foam labels varies in the range of -80oC - +150oC and the application temperature ranges from -5oC to +10oC.
