Condiment LDPE squeeze bottles

[Craig Keller]

Has anyone tried to place full color labels on Condiment squeeze bottles made of LDPE plastic. If so how do you print and apply the labels and what materials and what printer?

Not condiment bottles specifically, but yes on LDPE plastics. I use General Formulations 201/203 HTAP vinyl + Arlon 3420 lam (eco-sol printing), or if I'm in a pinch I'll use GF MotoMark (great stuff, but expensive). I know other folks in the forums have experience with other brand / series, but those are the only ones I've used.

Think oki printer will work?

stock is more important than the printer. Need vinyl that sticks to the plastic.

Suggestions?

We use MacTac Rebel528H High Tack for things like this. Great product, sticks to most flat surfaces.

How do u print on it?

Roland Soljet XR640 with Ecosolv inks (MacTac is printable with almost any ink system). We use the Matte Calendared profile.

To my knowledge, screen printing is the way to go. How would they clean these things time after time without the vinyl coming off, let alone people peeling them off ??

Yes, white

wouldn't it have to be approved to be used around food?
