2 For your full wrap solution With full wrap labeling, also called D-labeling, a label encloses four sides of a pack, similar to a banderole. Thanks to this, full wrap labeling contributes significantly to increasing the attractiveness of these packs at the point of sale. Multivac, one of the world s leading manufacturers of integrated packaging solutions for food, non-food as well as pharmaceutical products and medical devices and UPM Raflatac, a leading global supplier of pressure sensitive labeling solutions have been working together to provide this full wrap solution for you. Self-adhesive full wrap solutions open to your food products the whole world of label shapes, label materials and are ideal for several types of packs, such as vacuum skin packs, thermoformed MAP packs as well as trays and clamshells in a wide variety of shapes and materials. UPM Raflatac label materials have been tested on Multivac s PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive) full wrap machinery to make sure efficient application with variety of possibilities. With the same machinery you can also do C-labeling or apply a top label. Hungry for more? Discover more benefits of full wrap labeling with pressuresensitive labels! 2

4 DIFFERENTIATE your food products with us You decide the shape and design of your label. When you consider the wide range of UPM Raflatac label materials, there are many possibilities in terms of the face material. Also, all shapes are possible as the labels are held in effect by the carrier (backing) material. For example, it is possible for labels with curves and cut-outs to match with the particular product or pack. Full wrap self-adhesive labels will maximize the size of the area for branding and product information and do not block product visibility. Translucent film labels can even be used to create the feeling of a no-label look for unusual product exposition. Full wrap solutions also have promotional pos sibilities (e.g. a loyalty campaign) on the reverse side that are visible only after purchase. Often food packages are piled up on the shelf. In this case, full wrap labels bring shelf visibility to the next level. All this improves the impression and gives more opportunities to differentiate your food product on the point of sale. Full wrap labels can also substitute high grammage folded carton sleeves with lighter pressure sensitive label construction and still offer premium shelf appearance.

5 Consumers will enjoy your full wrap labeled food By choosing full wrap with selfadhesive labels, you will join the platform to innovate extra features for consumers. Design both sides with readable labels and let the consumers experience your brand without opening the food package. Perforate the full wrap and make the package easy to open. Perforated full wrap labels can be also used to help in opening packages such as clamshells. Or, add tamper evident functionality, so that consumers can see if the package was manipulated. 5

10 Labeler Optimum results for label lengths up to 500 mm With its L 310 Full Wrap Labeler, MULTIVAC offers a robust and low-maintenance conveyor belt labeler for high outputs up to 150 products per minute. The label dispenser enables label lengths of up to 500 mm to be run so that a 360 wrap around can be achieved, as well as overlapping ends of the label. Precise guidance of the packs and a servo-driven press-on unit ensure maximum accuracy. The height of the label dispenser is ergonomically adjusted from the front of the unit to accommodate various pack sizes. The labeler can either be used as a stand-alone solution or seamlessly integrated into a packaging line which enables automation of many tasks, such as loading of parameter settings or print layouts. Great flexibility thanks to a wide range of equipment options Thanks to its modular design, the Full Wrap Labeler offers a high level of flexibility to fulfill a variety of tasks. As an example, it can be equipped with further label dispensers for the application of top or bottom labels. Also a blow-on applicator, which is used to apply promotional labels without contact to delicate products or into the base of skin packs, can be integrated. The MULTIVAC Full Wrap Labeler also offers users the benefit of complete printer integration. This makes it easy to configure the printer parameters as well as assigning and automatically loading the print layouts from the MULTIVAC recipe. Operating errors can be prevented, while downtime is reduced and batch changes can be handled more quickly. The integration of inspection systems for checking label and print presence and correctness also contributes to greater reliability of the labeling and packaging process. 10
