Abstract
A heat shrink sleeve label, when applied to a container, glass or plastic, replicates the look and feel of etched glass or frosted glass through a combination of an upper coating and a lower coating on a shrink film. The shrink film may be polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate with or without glycol, or oriented poly styrene. Both water and solvent base frost inks are applied to the outer surface of the film. Frost inks contain a combination of pigments, waxes and solvents to achieve the frosted/acid etched look and feel. A tint coating is applied to the inner surface of the film. To prevent a 'wet' look when the shrink sleeve label is not printed with a tint coating, an anti-wet coating is printed on the inner surface of the film to eliminate the spotty and/or water stain appearance when applied to a container that contains imperfections.
