Wash-off labels

A sophisticated solution for a returnable beverage container system.

Wash-off labels are eco-friendly while also having a wow effect. They magically peel off in water without any chemicals. They are transparent – it looks as if there is no label on the product. Unlike traditional paper beer labels, "invisible" wash-off labels are designed to promote your unique brand image. Although the label can be easily removed in water, you are not constrained by limited options in design or quality.

Benefits of wash-off labels

  • You can also have transparent material printed
  • The label is really easy to remove during the wash cycle, without the use of any chemicals
  • You can use a variety of finishing processes: hot stamping, cold stamping, rotary screen printing, traditional and special varnishes

Method of production and printing

Wash-off labels are printed on HD-quality flexographic machines. We can print up to 10 colours. You can enrich your label with a range of finishing that will ensure your product is not overlooked. We offer hot stamping, cold stamping, lamination, and special full and partial varnishes. Attractive elements in the graphics are highlighted by rotary screen printing. 

We can also print on adhesives. If you are using the reverse side of the label for necessary text, you get more space for your graphics. Or do you want to hide a competition code on the back of the label to boost your marketing? It is up to you.

Use

Wash-off labels satisfy even the most demanding clients. They are mainly used in systems of returnable beverage packaging. They are ideal for both premium beers and soft drinks. An important feature is their transparency. Your design can look as if it is written or engraved directly on the bottle.

Materials

Materials

Wash-off labels are made from a clear material that has been specially developed for the requirements of returnable bottles. Their properties allow trouble-free peeling without the use of chemicals. If the necessary temperatures are right, the label simply peels away in a water bath and comes off with the adhesive and ink as a roll. The bottle is left clean and ready for further use.
