Help contribute to a circular economy, one label at a time with SmartCycle® label films. 

SmartCycle® takes label film technology to a whole new level.  SmartCycle films are completely recyclable in the RIC 1, recycling stream.  When used with washable inks, SmartCycle label film will flow through the recycling process without any downstream issues creating a completely new feedstock for post-consumer recycled material!

SmartCycle® Pro is the next evolution of our SmartCycle label films, which are RIC 1 recyclable. SmartCycle Pro has the added benefit of containing certified, 30% post-consumer, mechanically recycled content. Now a label film can truly close the loop and support a circular economy by utilizing PCR content in its own make up.

  

SmartCycle® Plus isn't just about sustainability; it's also about versatility. Thanks to its cutting-edge shrink rate capabilities, SmartCycle Plus can be effortlessly applied to bottles with intricate geometry. Whether it's curves, contours, or unique shapes, this film adapts effortlessly, ensuring a snug and professional fit every time. Say goodbye to limitations and hello to endless possibilities with SmartCycle Plus.

SmartCycle® PO is the next evolution in shrink sleeve labeling, designed for seamless recyclability when paired with polyolefin bottles and containers. Made from a polyolefin-based material, SmartCycle PO ensures that both the label and the container stay in the same recycling stream—eliminating contamination and enhancing circularity. Now, brands can achieve bold, high-impact designs while supporting a more sustainable packaging future.
