Stickem invest in a Ravenwood coater

French label printer, Stickem, has recently added Ravenwood’s linerless technology to its product portfolio after investing in a Com500 Coater. The company, based in Normandy, is now an officially approved partner of Ravenwood for producing linerless labels.

CEO, Frédéric Leyval, learnt of Ravenwood’s linerless technology at Label Expo in 2017 and recommendations from customers. Frédéric was attracted to the cost savings that linerless offered including the sustainability benefits for skin pack labelling and moving away from labour-intensive carton board sleeve application.

Frédéric said: “As a business, we are looking to reduce our energy consumption and seeking ways to reduce and recycle our waste. Linerless is another step we have taken in becoming more environmentally friendly and in doing so, we have expanded our product offering.

When asked about the Coater, he said: “The Com500 is easy to operate and all of the associated materials; paper, film, adhesive and silicone are easily accessible through Ravenwood’s approved supplier network.”

Abel Sierzputowski, Stickem MD, added: “Ravenwood’s linerless technology is the perfect answer to the needs of our historical agro-food customers.”
