IMPROVE OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY
No change parts
PSL requires no change parts and machine modifications for different label sizes or label shapes. - > wet glue needs setting up the glue supply, clean parts which are in contact with glue and a complete wash up every shift. Cleaning and Set-Up are main reason for difference in efficiency
Efficiencies
Efficiencies have improved from 88-92 % to 97 - 99 % by changing from wet glue to PSL!
Cleaner
PSL Technology is the "cleaner" process, also from a micro-biological standpoint. The consumer will not find traces of glue on the bottle
Pre-Decoration
Pre-Decoration of bottles before filling is possible. PS Labels can be resistant to rinsing and pasteurization. - Decoration at glass plant is possible
