For our wash centre, the quality of the labels used on the bottles plays a crucial role. Beyond the aesthetic aspect, they have a direct influence on the washing process, efficiency and operational costs. Every day, we see the impact of standard labels, which cause considerable losses. Thanks to the new labels, the loss rate has fallen from 15% to 5%.
Old labels: A real brake on efficiency
In our own laboratory, we use a special machine that simulates bottle ageing under real conditions. For this test, the bottles were aged for five months to ensure that the wash-off self-adhesive labels would work reliably even after prolonged use or storage.
Next, the bottles were tested under industrial washing conditions: water at 80°C, soda and water movement simulated the actual washing process. The results were convincing: in just 3 minutes, the label came off the bottle completely by itself, without leaving any residue. Here are the results:
- New label: After just 3 minutes, it starts to peel off by itself. The water infiltrates between the lines of glue, dissolving it and making it easier to peel off, without leaving any traces.
- Old label: Even after 20 minutes in the soda, it remains stuck and leaves persistent traces, making cleaning laborious and costly.
You can imagine the cumulative impact of this problem when hundreds or even thousands of bottles are processed every day. This leads to extra costs and compromised wash quality, resulting in a high wastage rate.
Why new labels are a necessity
The new labels have been specially designed to meet the needs of washing centre like ours. Their innovative technology allows water to penetrate between the layers of adhesive, guaranteeing fast, clean removal. This offers a number of advantages:
- Saves time: The washing process is accelerated.
- Reduced waste: Every year, nearly a million bottles were thrown away due to stains and label residues. The loss rate is reduced from 15% to 5%.
- Ecological efficiency: Fewer chemicals needed for cleaning.
