MLRFL on non-carb still application considerations • Proper glue selection/Application amount This is something that you need to consider. It could be as simple as a label removal or an operator reviewing glue checks. Our team will work with your glue suppliers on the appropriate amount of glue needed to hold the label. • Delamination as a label peel is not a valid glue pattern or application amount testing method.
✓ Acceptable glue pattern and application
✗ Poor application and bad pattern
Technical Implementation Guide
Application assistance Our technical service team knows the best practices for the application of our monolayer labels. We understand working with MLRFL is a change, as it runs differently from common laminated labels. We share our knowledge of this process with you so you can learn what is good and bad, along with all the specification to make your labels work effectively. You can find all this information in our Technical Implementation Guide (TIG). MLRFL Technical Implementation Guide We develop the Technical Implementation Guides with your engineers based on the plant testing that we do and the machine type you use. Our teams create a one to two-page document with that data to uncover key technical scenarios. An example could be what parameter needs changed on the input screen of the control panel to give your operational team enough troubleshooting information to continue to run at that desired speed. All relevant adaptations and findings are based on the time from the labeler manufacturer.

Place the TIG on the labeler
We recommend placing the TIG on the labeler. This provides the operator with the information needed to solve any problems that might occur. This is important because when changing sizes, you are not only changing the product, but multiple change parts. However, we work with you on the machines during the testing phase to see what issues might arise and figure out how to fix them and capture these on the TIG’s. It’s important to go through the TIG with the operators. You will find the key learnings on how to run monolayer roll fed labels versus laminated labels. Below are some examples of what you can find in the TIG: • GMP – Potential adjustments – Sick Eye label potentiometer “Sick Eye spot for LUM” considerations • GMP – Vacuum Systems • Label brushers/wipers & knives considerations • GMP – Static & label “End-of-Roll” detection considerations
