One of the most common issues associated with removable produce labels is their capability to retain adhesion over a range of temperatures. Produce packing house experience a wide difference in ambient temperatures throughout the day, making the process of high speed label application difficult. This temperature variance can reduce the bonding capabilities of the labels along with a high speed labeling system’s application rate.
The adhesive formulators and producers at Heartland Adhesives traveled directly to the packing house in California for an up-close examination of this complex issue. This hands-on experience allowed our custom adhesive formulators to develop a produce label adhesive capable of retaining excellent bonding qualities in an impressively wide range of temperatures, ensuring our customer is able to consistently and accurately label their produce every time.
