Abstract: A multi-layer shrink film. The shrink film can exhibit a significant amount of shrink within a certain temperature range that is above the onset temperature of the film. The film can exhibit a shrinkage that is at least about 50% of the total shrink within a temperature range T1 above the onset temperature of the film. In one aspect, the shrink film comprises a core layer and skin layers disposed about opposite surfaces of the core layer, and tie layers disposed between the core and the skin layers, the skin layers individually comprising a polyester, e.g., a glycol-modified polyester, and the tie layers individually comprising an anhydride modified material.

Abstract: A heat shrinkable label comprises (A) a heat shrinkable film comprising at least one thermoplastic polymer, and (B) a curable adhesive comprising (1) at least one urethane (meth)acrylate resin having an average of about 1 to about 1.6 (meth)acrylate groups per resin molecule, (2) at least one tackifier, and (3) at least one photoinitiator, where the film has an ultimate shrinkage at 135° C. of at least 15%, and the adhesive has sufficient precure tack, wherein the loop tack of the uncured adhesive is at least 4.3 g/cm2. The heat shrinkable label is useful in high-speed industrial processes such as beverage container labeling.
