One incredibly popular shrink-sleeve labeling option is a custom hybrid composite material. A hybrid material is a combination of two materials at the macro, micro, or nano level, and it is typically a blend, multilayer, or nanoconstructed material. Recent innovations in the shrink labeling industry have allowed for new, hybrid composite materials to be introduced to food packaging, making way for materials that use the combined benefits of multiple types of shrink sleeve labeling. A hybrid composite shrink sleeve label is simply made from both OPS and PET shrink sleeve labels. It is a three-layer, co-extrusion technology, and provides enhanced customization for any and all types of shrink-sleeve labeling. AMAC Technologies is an industry leader in providing innovative materials like custom hybrid composite shrink sleeves, and John Yamasaki, the in-house expert at AMAC Technologies has many years’ worth of experience in innovating within the shrink sleeve labeling industry. No matter what type of material you are looking for, AMAC Technologies can help provide you with the right guidance and top-of-the-line options and equipment for all of your shrink-sleeve labeling needs. 

BENEFITS OF USING A HYBRID COMPOSITE SHRINK SLEEVE LABEL 

• High shrinkage. Hybrid composite shrink sleeve labels are an excellent choice for any type of large or irregularly shaped bottle or container that needs wrapping. Examples include shampoo bottles, conditioner bottles, pickle jars, alcohol, beer, or spirits containers, and more. With more than 76% TD shrinkage, these are the ideal choice for anything with shapes, curves, or even square bottles. 
• Excellent package adhesion. With high shrinkage also comes advanced package adhesion. Hybrid composite shrink sleeve labels are wonderful for making sure that the shrink sleeve label is flush with the packaging, providing more wear resistance and protection for the product. 
• Low-temperature shrinkage. Using a hybrid composite shrink sleeve label is also an excellent option because of its lower-temperature shrinkage. This enhances and increases the manufacturing process overall by making the packaging process move quicker and run more smoothly. It also allows for machinery like a heat shrink tunnel to be utilized during the packaging process. 
• Unlimited customization opportunities. Hybrid composite materials are ideal for printing with color. The material itself will not cause fogging, darkening, or even pattern deformation during the shrinking process making this a great option for manufacturers looking to provide the utmost preservation to their labels.
