The industrial process of packaging products in different types of bottles requires proper identification for commercialization. For this reason, the labeling stage is crucial within the production chain. Today, there is high-tech machinery designed to ensure precision, efficiency, and quality in label application. Additionally, high-performance adhesives have been developed specifically to be used in these automated processes.

Choosing the right adhesive for labeling bottles and tin cans in industrial processes is essential to ensure its success. It requires carefully evaluating the following process parameters:

• Application speed: the adhesive must dry or cool quickly enough to meet the requirements of the labeling process and ensure efficient production.
• Machineability: the adhesive must be compatible with the labeling machines and the technology used in the industrial process. This will prevent issues such as jams, misfeeds, contamination, or production line rejections.
• Quality, resistance, and durability standards: the adhesive must be able to withstand all stages of the production chain—from manufacturing, transportation, point-of-sale display, and storage, to the environmental conditions it may encounter, such as extreme temperatures, humidity, vibrations, handling, and more.
  Bottle surface type: the adhesive must be compatible with the bottle’s material—whether glass, plastic, or metal—and must be able to adhere properly to any bottle design or shape.
• Label type: the label material is also a determining factor when choosing the adhesive for the process; commonly used labels include coated paper, metallic, enamel, or plastic labels.

By selecting the right adhesive according to the specific requirements of your process and label, you can choose the best adhesive option based on its technology.

After selecting the ideal adhesive, you will be able to ensure in your labeling process:

High adhesion on different surfaces, ensuring that labels stay in place.
High performance, allowing operation at high production speeds with minimal downtime.
Affordability, making them ideal for optimizing production costs.
