Less material

Thin labels with less material and weight

Labels made from a thinner face material, printed in your design. With the same roll size, more labels fit on the roll.

Benefits for your application

The key selection benefits at a glance.

Less material per label

A thinner face material means less material and weight per label, especially in large runs.

More labels per roll

With the same roll diameter, more thin labels fit on the roll. Your line has to change rolls less often.

Adapts to curved surfaces

Thin films conform to tubes, squeezable bottles and tight radii.

Printed in up to 8 colours

Flexo printing in one pass or inkjet digital printing, spot colours to Pantone or HKS.

Specification

Thin labels from Hummel Print

Thin labels use a face material that is thinner than the usual standard material. Each label therefore needs less material and weighs less. We print thin labels by flexo or digital printing and supply them on rolls, fanfolded or on sheets.

  • Thin face material of paper, PP film or PE film
  • Flexo printing with up to 8 colours in one pass or inkjet digital printing
  • Variable data such as batch, barcode or QR code
  • Adhesive permanent, high tack or removable
  • On rolls for your labelling machine, fanfolded or on sheets
  • Samples on the material of your choice before the production run
How much material you save

Comparison

How much material you save

How much thinner the new label is depends on your current label. Send us a current label or its data sheet. We then compare the material thicknesses and tell you the material and thickness of our proposal. A sample before the production run shows whether the thinner label runs and adheres just as well on your line.

Applications

Typical applications

Film labels for PET bottles and beverages

With high volumes, every gram of label affects the amount of material in the whole run.

Flexible labels for cosmetic tubes

Thin film bends with the tube when it is squeezed and stays smooth.

Food packaging with high label consumption

Dairies, bakeries and delicatessen producers label large quantities every day and benefit from fewer roll changes.

Logistics labels

More labels per roll mean fewer roll changes at the printer and in the warehouse. Linerless labels do without a backing liner altogether.

Labels made from recycled material are shown on the page Recycled labels, FSC® papers and the climate contribution on the page Sustainable labels.
