Breweries often have unique challenges when it comes to applying labels quickly and cleanly. 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
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.
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.
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.
Reduces Delays:
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.
