Why Is PET Backing Ideal for Breweries?

Every brewery needs labels to be applied quickly and cleanly—often to cold cans or bottles moving at high speeds. That’s where PET Backing shines. Made from durable plastic (polyethylene terephthalate), it’s designed for high-speed, machine-applied labeling that reduces downtime and keeps your packaging line flowing.

4 Reasons Breweries Choose PET Backing

1. Built for Speed:

PET Backing is made for automated roll-to-roll systems, which are commonly used on brewery canning and bottling lines. It dispenses smoothly and doesn’t tear under pressure.

2. Performs in Moisture-Rich Environments:

Cold fills, rinse cycles, and wet conveyor belts are no match for PET backing. Its moisture resistance helps protect the label during production and ensures a smooth release, even when everything else is damp. Make sure the bottles themselves are not wet when applying the labels, though – Any moisture or air in between the label and your product could cause bubbles or peeling.

3. Withstands Temperature Swings:

Whether you're labeling warm glass bottles or ice-cold aluminum cans, PET Backing can be applied down to 25°F, and will withstand temperatures from -75°F to 200°F without curling, breaking, or sticking.

4. Reduces Downtime:

Tears and jams from weaker liners can stop your line and delay production. PET Backing strength and consistency minimize interruptions, keeping production on schedule and moving fast.
