Kiss Cutting Petg Sleeves On Glass Bottles

A trend in the packaging industry is to encase glass or plastic containers in a pre-formed, full-body PETG (glycol-modified polythylene terephthalate) shrink sleeve. These sleeves are easily printed with colourful logos or labelling information & can even extend up around the cap for added tamper protection. The customer request involves a twist on a common CO2 laser application-kiss-cutting self-adhesive labels away from a coated paper liner. The unique requirement in this case was to kiss-cut a decorative pattern after the 4.5ml PETG sleeve is formed around the glass bottle.
