Print stays legible in contact with oil and grease
Film does not absorb oil. Colours, text and barcodes therefore stay clear even when oil runs over the label.
Resistant to oil and grease
Oil and grease-resistant labels for food, cosmetics and technical products
Labels for containers where oil or grease runs down the side or sticks to hands. We design print, edges and adhesive for this contact.
Benefits for your application
The key selection benefits at a glance.
Adhesion even on oily containers
We choose the adhesive by container and medium so that the edges do not lift.
Print protected by varnish
A varnish over the printed image protects colours and codes from oil, grease and abrasion when handled.
Tested on the original container
We send you samples on the material of your choice, so you can test the label with your product before the production run.
Specification
Grease-resistant labels from Hummel Print
With oil bottles, delicatessen or lubricants a container rarely stays clean. Drops run over the label, greasy hands reach for it. Oil and grease-resistant labels are built for this: film instead of paper, a protective varnish over the print and an adhesive that suits container and medium. Printing is in up to 8 colours.
Cooking oil, cosmetic oil and engine oil act differently on labels. So tell us what the label comes into contact with and for how long. Material, varnish and adhesive follow from that. The sample shows how the label copes with your product.
- Face material of PP or PE film
- Protective varnish over the printed image
- Inkjet digital printing resistant to moisture, chemicals and abrasion
- Flexo printing with up to 8 colours in one pass, spot colours to Pantone or HKS
- Adhesive to suit container and medium, migration-safe on request
- On rolls for your labelling machine, fanfolded or on sheets
Applications
Typical applications
Cooking oil, dressings and sauces
At the spout, oil runs over the bottle neck and label. The variety still has to stay legible.
Delicatessen, meat and sausage products
Jars and trays with fatty contents are picked up by hands that touch the label.
Bakery products and snacks
Fat from pastries, crisps or nuts can pass through the packaging onto the label.
Pet food
High-fat food and large containers put strain on label and adhesive over a long time.
Massage and cosmetic oils
Care oils are used with oily hands. More on labels for personal care products is on the page Cosmetic labels.
Engine oils, lubricants and workshop products
Canisters and cartridges in workshop use need labels whose warnings and barcodes stay legible even when smeared.
For water, condensation and cleaning, see the page Waterproof labels.
