Innovia Films has added new downgauged grades to its BOPP squeezable Rayoface label facestock range.

CZFA51 is a clear film and WZFA51 is white, and both films offer value for money, according to the company.

Innovia is encouraging customers to switch from using PE85 to the BOPP films as they save time and offer clarity for ‘no-label’ look applications.

Richard Southward, global product manager of labels at Innovia Films says the benefits of switching from PE85 have been well-researched.

"As our films are thinner, the printer will get more square meters per reel, which means more printed labels per reel and increased up-time on press," he says.

"It reduces the number of reels required by up to 60 per cent, effectively decreasing the number of pallets and the storage space required by half.

"This results in less packaging and reel handling costs.

"The reduction in label material weight means that transport and logistics carbon footprint can be reduced by up to 45 per cent. We believe this is an excellent opportunity to save time and money.”

Squeezable films are popular with brand managers, especially in the home and personal care sector.

Labels produced from these films maintain their consistency and quality throughout the life of the container on which they are applied, whatever format they are.

Australia’s ‘cheese-centric’ dairy industry is looking to higher-value uses of milk protein – such as nutritional supplements – as national milk production remains low, according to Rabobank.

Tucking into a hamburger without harming animals is closer to reality after University of Queensland (UQ) researchers found a way to cut costs in cultivated meat production.

Sixteen months after receivers were appointed over its holding company, the structural obstacle to selling Western Australia’s largest milk processor has been removed. McGrathNicol has launched the formal sale process for Brownes Dairy, with China Mengniu Dairy Company consolidating its holding position so the entire enterprise can be put to market rather than a shareholding above it.
