Sacmi Labelling FormSleeve+ System labelling system

The FormSleeve+ labelling system, from Sacmi Labelling, is said to be capable of up to a 20% reduction in the cost of materials and labelling speeds of up to 50,000 bph.

The modular system creates and applies sleeves from MDO (machine direction orientation) rolls of film. The sleeve is created on a series of motorised mandrels through the use of vacuum technology and the sleeve is then bonded using either laser technology or a natural liquid substance that never comes into contact with the containers. The manufactured sleeve is then lowered and applied to the container and discharged via a steam tunnel shrinking the sleeve to the container at the outfeed of the labeller

Using MDO rolls of film, an optimised roll count of 20,000 labels or more per roll is achieved, as opposed to 5 to 7000 for traditional shrink sleeve applicators. This means improved yields, reduced shipping and inventory costs and minimal film/label wastage for both the label printer and the bottle labeller.

The product can be configured to accept a wide range of label applications and label material types, such as PE, PET, PVC, PLA and OPS, to suit individual user requirements.
