After the LabelExpo Europe had to be cancelled in the last years due to pandemic, we are pleased to present again this year at the world‘s largest event for the label and packaging industry in Brussels with a cross-section of our broad portfolio. Sihl showcases solutions in the segments Label FACESTOCK, ARTYSIO Flexible Packaging and Tags with focus on sustainability. Sihl is considered a pioneer on the path to greater sustainability and as part of the ESG strategy combines economic success with environmental protection and social responsibility.
FACESTOCK
In the FACESTOCK range, we present innovations for water-based on-demand inkjet printing. It includes BOPP and PET films in various sizes and colours and already offers 10 film products with a PCR content of between 30% (white) and 90% (clear). The products have the same mechanical properties and the undisputed Sihl printing performance in laser or AQ inkjet printing, so just like the rest of the range they are easy to process and offer identical benefits: fast drying, high colour brilliance, sharp-edged prints and good water resistance.
Together with the right adhesive, they support recycling efforts, whether through the option of monopackaging or automatic sorting during recycling. To reduce CO2 emissions, many products are available with DUAL printing technology. This reduces inventory along the entire logistics chain, as only one product is needed for at least two printing technologies, such as inkjet and laser.
In addition, Sihl saves resources in the use of materials and offers aqueous inkjet products with reduced weight. Compared to the corresponding PET or BOPP grades, the total weight is reduced by up to 40%, which increases productivity with 30% to 50% more labels per roll.

ARTYSIO
With ARTYSIO we offer functional, flexible packaging solutions for water-based on-demand inkjet or laser printing for narrow web printers, converters and brand manufacturers. Premade, individually printable stand-up pouches: The ARTYSIO film is first produced on the line to form unprinted stand-up pouches, which can then be individually printed later as required using aqueous inkjet or laser printing. This variant is suitable for all small, highly flexible customer orders of up to 10,000 pieces and represents a completely new benchmark in the industry.
The “Made for Recycling” seal guarantees sustainability. ARTYSIO is manufactured according to GMP guidelines (“Good Manufacturing Practice”) and ensures production in the food environment. Therefore, ARTYSIO is qualified as flexible, primary packaging for food & non-food applications.
