Henkel Adhesive Technologies has formed a partnership with Ravenwood Packaging to develop hotmelt pressure-sensitive adhesives tailored for Ravenwood’s linerless labelling systems.
The adhesives are designed for use with Ravenwood’s Com500 Coaters and Nobac Applicators, enabling integration into the company’s Circle of Linerless ecosystem, which combines materials, machinery and services.
According to Henkel, the adhesives support applications across logistics, weight scaling and fresh food packaging by maintaining reliable performance under cold chain conditions. The adhesives also allow linerless labels to achieve Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) recyclability accreditation, with a pulp yield of more than 93.75 per cent.
Philippe Daval, global market strategy manager for specialty tapes & labels at Henkel, said, “By combining our adhesive expertise with Ravenwood’s linerless technology, we are delivering a solution that reduces waste, lowers CO₂ emissions, and supports recyclability at scale.”
Henkel and Ravenwood are showcasing this partnership at Labelexpo Europe 2025 this week, with Henkel at stand 4C56 and Ravenwood at stand 5A52.
