Label Films - Polyolefin

The word "Polyolefin" is used in the pressure-sensitve label industry to describe any combination of polystyrene, polypropylene, or polyethylene cast extrusion to design new material stock. Polyolefin is manufactured in clear or white, with a thickness of 3 to 4 mils. In many cases, this stock can replace applications at a 20-30% price reduction for prime labeling, health and beauty, cosmetics, or pharmaceutical. However, because of differences in material extrusions, polyolefins may require special tooling beyond what is used for  standard film stocks, and may incur additional manufacturing costs. It is flexible, and may be used on squeezable containers, and those with compound curves.
