UPM Raflatac has launched new “Pop-Up” labelling solutions for food, beverage, home care and personal care, designed to catch the consumer’s eye on supermarket shelves.

Attaching to various packaging solutions as a 3D pop-up on the top or side of the product, the PET labels feature clear, white and metallised faces; additionally, the company promises they will keep their shape through any transportation and storage conditions.

According to Junion Zhao, director of films business for APAC at UPM Raflatac, these labels are a response to growing demand for an innovative new way to allow brands to differentiate their products from the competition.

“The demand for promotional Pop-Up labels is spreading throughout the region at an exponential rate, and UPM Raflatac now provides customers with an excellent stand-out product for answering to this trend,” said Zhao.

The labels use the water-based RP799 adhesive, which Jefferey Wu, R&D manager for APAC at UPM Raflatac, says ensures strong adhesion on even small-diameter glass, plastic, metal, and paper containers.

“Due to the well-balanced recipe of this UPM Raflatac adhesive, the labels will peel off cleanly without any residue left on the surface of the substrates,” he said.

Food & Drink Business

Ferrero has gained more ground in the US through its acquisition of WK Kellogg for $4.7 billion (US$3.1b). Since 2018, Ferrer has acquired Nestle's US chocolate business for $4.25 billion, Kellogg's cookies and fruit snacks unit for $2 billion, and ice cream company Wells Enterprises.

The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) says it won’t oppose Lactalis’ proposed acquisition of Fonterra’s consumer and food service businesses, if the bid goes ahead. While it would see two of the largest buyers of raw milk combine, the ACCC says it is “unlikely” to result in a lessening of competition.
