tesa® Twinlock is a self-adhesive, reusable, and compressible sleeve that can reportedly help packaging printers achieve greater operational efficiency and improve return on investment (ROI) while reducing the solid waste associated with packaging printing. The traditional approach to printing flexible packaging is to employ single-use tape, but this can be time consuming and expensive. It can also result in tons of waste headed to the landfill every year, which represents an increasing concern as consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies strive to meet aggressive 2025 sustainability goals.
Comprising a base sleeve, polyurethane foam, stabilization film, and adhesive polymer, tesa Twinlock eliminates the need for tape in packaging printing. The company reports that the product’s self-adhesive and stabilization layers lead to increased efficiency and improved ROI.
