Orange Peel Label Production Process

• The label is exposed to high temperature and pressure during production.
• During this process, some air is removed from the foamed polypropylene in the middle of the label.
• The result is a slightly textured surface with an orange peel effect appearance.

Characteristics of the Orange Peel Label

• 1 - Cost Efficiency: Orange peel labels offer an economical solution. They are ideal for large-scale production.
• 2 - Compatibility with the Production Process: This type of label can be used in injection molding, blow molding, and thermoforming processes.
• 3 - Aesthetic and Textural Appearance: Its rough surface creates a visually and texturally appealing effect. It is especially preferred in ice cream and margarine packaging.
• 4 - Lightness and Strength: The foamed polypropylene structure makes the label both lightweight and durable.
• 5 - No Packaging Bulging: When used in containers smaller than 5 liters, the label does not cause any bulging (dome effect) on the surface of the packaging.
• 6 - Overlap Possibility: Orange peel labels allow the design to overlap in different areas of the packaging.

Applications

• Food Products: Packaging for ice cream, margarine, spreadable cheese, and similar products.
• Cosmetics: Shampoo and lotion containers.
• Industrial Products: Chemical containers and cleaning products.

Technical Considerations

• Correct Thickness Selection: The appropriate thickness should be chosen based on the packaging size.
• Injection Point Sensitivity: Attention should be paid to this area, as it can affect the appearance of the label.
• Grain Direction Test: Production parameters should be optimized for both horizontal and vertical directions.
