SHAPE360 TDS: Offers New Sustainable and Versatile Labeling Choice for Commercial Sorting and Recycling Systems
Sustainable, versatile, and highly appealing – SHAPE360 TDS is a high TD shrink clear
label film that improves PET bottle recycling quality and efficiency by ensuring the separation
of floatable printed sleeves from rigid PET flakes. Thanks to its low density, the weight of the
label is reduced. TDS is compatible with polyolefin sorting streams and is, therefore, a perfect
solution for PP and HDPE containers resulting in recoverable all-olefin packages. It is
certified as recyclable by Interseroh with its “Made for Recycling” seal and by the European
PET Bottle Platform (EPBP). TDS has received critical guidance recognition by the
Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) for its recyclability with PET, colored HDPE, and
natural HDPE containers.
Thanks to its “no-label look” given by a superior gloss and transparency, TDS is designed to
maximize product differentiation and brand shelf appeal by providing a 360-degree billboard
decoration. It guarantees up to 65% shrinkage enabling gradual labeling of empty and thin-wall containers with no squeezing risk nor air and moisture trapping. Its negligible MD shrink
prevents any undesired “smile effect” at bottle extremities while the inherent versatility makes
it the perfect choice to decorate containers in a variety of shapes and sizes and made from
different materials. Furthermore, the film’s strong seaming is achieved using Ti’s natural-based solvents.
