When you reach for an ice cold beer on a hot summer day, chances are you're not thinking about the glue that holds the label in place. But, to be perfectly honest, a lot goes into picking the right labeling glue for beer bottles.
Not only does the glue have to withstand ice cold refrigerator temperatures, it also has to hold up when submerged in water at the bottom of an icy cooler.
If the right glue isn't used during the labeling process, you'll open a cooler full of naked bottles and floating labels.
If you are using a Krones Cold-glue Labeller for your beer bottle labeling, our HB Fuller product Swift®tak PWL5120 is a great match for you. This is an opaque, synthetic polymer based glue for use on a wide range of rotary labellers. key: it adheres to cold, wet bottles and offers ice-proof bonds.
Perfect for beer bottles!
