Stretch Sleeve Labeling
Labeling machine using Stretch Sleeve technology, applying labels made of linear lower density polyethylene (LDPE film, with elastic properties).
The stretch label, which has physical and practical qualities , makes it very attractive to consumers and beneficial for different fields producers.
