Jindal Films, a global technology leader in flexible food packaging, pressure sensitive, wrap around and in-mold labeling applications, is reinforcing its commitment for a sustainable future in the labeling market.
As a global name in labeling film applications, Jindal Films is reinforcing its European manufacturing footprint by starting up the previously announced new orienter line on its Italian site, in Brindisi in 2024. This new orienter is designed to have the lowest possible environmental footprint, including using electricity produced on site by solar panels, which will further position Jindal Films as a one-stop shop partner for sustainable labeling film applications.
Out of all its plants across Europe, Jindal says it is fully equipped to supply Label-Lyte films answering the required performance and the most demanding environmental market needs across the entire supply chain.
Jindal has a dedicated full range of label-Lyte pressure sensitive facestock films with a clear, glossy white and matt white surface finish.
- LL210 crystal clear and ZH247 cavitated white made with unique cavitation technology required for the pressure sensitive market. These films are designed to be top coated on the print side by customers when they have this possibility on their lines.
- One side top-coated films LL532 and LH532 have a print surface prepared to be used by all the actual printing methods, including UV inkjet latest technology.
- The latest two-side top-coated films, LL345, SWL345 and LH345 ensure, on top of a robust print surface, a wide and performant adhesive anchorage to the back, while providing, when needed, a barrier effect to hot melt migrating components.
- The new matt LT545 film is providing a premium matt finish and is extremely resistant over time constraints.
- Metalized films are available both without (ML280) and with top coating (ML580) to protect the metal layer while offering an exceptional printability.
In-mould labeling product range, inherited from Treofan
- High-yield orange peel effect films, including the market references EUH and EUP designed for demanding sheet fed presses both in one side or more recently with its two-side matt option optimized for sheet fed printing equipment.
- Specific films for IML decoration of big buckets produced for the industrial, as well as for the food packaging market, including paint buckets and containers for food sauces via its ELR film family or the EWR solid white film.
- Clear film solutions ensure a perfect clarity over the label decoration, with the ETH or with a matt side with ETR.
- EPT Film designed for thermoforming label applications, which pioneered the use of BOPP films in this labeling technology.
Label-Lyte films for the reel fed wrap around applications were continuously optimized from the beginning of this technology.
- DL247, the thinnest and lightest film in the reel fed market, ensures excellent performances like the well-known cavitated white LL247, while being 15% lighter, therefore offering significantly reduced plastic use for the same labelling surface.
- High clarity LTD film is being re-launched on the market to primarily support the water applications.
Jindal says its Labe-Lyte and Treofan IML films can be provided as part of ists latest Re Range portfolio, which upgrade each film in its most sustainable version to reduce its environmental impact, virgin plastic and fossil oil dependency.
The Re Range include mass balance ISCC+ certified films, bio-based, bio-circular or circular (chemical recycling), which can be implemented without any compromise on performances and food approvals guarantees. Furthermore, its Re Range delivers the result of its new expertise developed to incorporate mechanically recycled content in our films, both in post-industrial and post-consumer types. All the films within its Re Range portfolio provide a tool to reduce carbon emissions across the entire value chain in a joint effort to limit global warming to 1.5˚C, the company said
Jindal Films says it is devoted to continue to expand the Label-Lyte product range to be a one-stop shop reliable solution partner for every label player in the industry. “We are striving to develop the next generations of films required to meet the evolving market and environmental needs, delivering to end consumers, a fully sustainable solution for their everyday products.”
