Label Material for Canned Food & Condiments

FAQ

We keep getting edge lift on Canned Food & Condiments — what are the usual causes?

Three failures repeat on cans, glass jars and condiment bottles: a 121 °C retort softens paper and bleeds print; brine and oil creep under the edge within days; condensation under the sleeve keeps the substrate wet. All three end as edge lift or a clean peel-off with no adhesive transfer, which means the bond never formed rather than failed later.

What should we put on the spec sheet for a Canned Food & Condiments label?

In this field the catalogue concentrates on Pearl BOPP Film, PET Film, Copperplate Paper: 5 of the 6 constructions here use one of those faces, and Low-odor / Residue-free is the most frequent adhesive. That pairing is chosen for 121 °C retort and brine.

What certificates or documents come with Canned Food & Condiments material?

Each lot ships with a TDS for the construction and a lot number on the reel label. We also issue a written statement of the adhesive chemistry so your own REACH or FDA assessment can be completed. For food contact we can declare the face and adhesive only, not your printing ink.

Can you slit Canned Food & Condiments material to our core and width?

Jumbo roll or slit roll, wound to your core and width, in 500 ㎡ lots. We do not publish a single line-speed figure, because release force depends on your die, web tension and dwell. Send your m/min and we cut a trial roll to match.

Is there a smaller starting quantity for Canned Food & Condiments?

The catalogue MOQ is 500 ㎡ per construction; below that a coating run is not economic, so we quote a share of a scheduled run instead. Lead time is 15 days after artwork and roll-format approval, ex-works Guangzhou. It can be consolidated with other codes on the same shipment.

How long does approval take if we start with a Canned Food & Condiments sample?

Send substrate, line speed and roll format in the brief; we shortlist two or three constructions, then cut a trial roll for approval on your own press. Production starts only after you sign off that trial, and inspection happens before dispatch.
