Label Material for Cold Chain & Frozen Food

FAQ

What are the three most common failure modes for Cold Chain & Fresh Food labels?

Three failures repeat on frozen cartons and chilled packs: condensation forms within seconds when a -18 °C pack meets room air; a standard acrylic goes brittle below -10 °C and lifts at the corner; a wet surface stops the adhesive from wetting out at all.

For Cold Chain & Fresh Food, which face and adhesive does the catalogue actually use?

In this field the catalogue concentrates on Thermal Film, Thermal Paper, Synthetic Paper: 24 of the 26 constructions here use one of those faces, and Freezer-grade is the most frequent adhesive. That pairing is chosen for -18 °C service and condensation.

Do Cold Chain & Fresh Food shipments include a TDS and a lot number?

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.

How is Cold Chain & Fresh Food material wound and packed?

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 We do not publish a single line-speed figure, because release force depends on your die, web tension and dwell.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.

What is the minimum order quantity for Cold Chain & Fresh Food?

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.

Can we get a trial roll of Cold Chain & Fresh Food before ordering?

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.
