rPET & PCR Label Material

rPET and PCR label material is a film facestock manufactured with a defined proportion of post-consumer recycled content while performing like conventional virgin film: waterproof, tear-resistant and dimensionally stable on press and on pack. It lets brands reduce virgin plastic in the label itself rather than only in the container.

It is used by beverage, cosmetics and household brands documenting recycled content in packaging programmes, and by converters supplying customers with recycled-content targets or EPR reporting obligations.

Agree the recycled percentage and the documentation you need up front, then check print compatibility, opacity or clarity, and gauge against your existing virgin film. For PET bottles in closed-loop recycling, pair it with a wash-off adhesive so the label detaches during washing. Colour and runnability can differ slightly from virgin film — confirm with sample testing.

A label film made with post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, such as recycled PET, to reduce virgin plastic and carbon footprint.

Yes, quality rPET facestocks match the print, durability and waterproofing of standard film.

Content levels vary by grade; we can supply facestocks with defined PCR percentages for your sustainability claims.

Yes, and it can be paired with wash-off adhesive for a fully design-for-recycling label.

rPET and PCR facestocks print by flexo, offset, UV inkjet and digital methods just like standard virgin film, since the recycled content does not change the surface treatment or ink anchorage — confirm your press and we will match the top-coat accordingly.

rPET and PCR film runs on white glassine, PET or CCK/kraft liner, matrix-stripped and die-cut to your label shape, on 25 mm (1 in) or 76 mm (3 in) cores up to 1,600 mm wide, the same as our standard film facestocks.

Yes, request a free sample of white, clear or matte rPET/PCR film along with the technical datasheet and recycled-content documentation, so you can validate performance and sustainability claims before committing to a production order.

Stocked grades start from 1 jumbo roll. Custom constructions or coatings typically start from 3,000–5,000 square meters, depending on complexity.

Permanent, removable, deep-freeze, high-tack or wash-off adhesive (water-based or hot-melt), on white glassine, PET or CCK/kraft liner — matched to your surface and environment.
