Containers leave the hardening tunnel cold, sit in distribution centers cold and then face daily warm-air intrusion every time a retail freezer door opens. Frequent temperature fluctuations expose the label to repeated condensation throughout distribution and retail display. Curved tub geometry compounds the problem: adhesives have to resist both the temperature swing and the slight flex of the substrate.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-ad9a114\" data-block-id=\"ad9a114\"><style>.stk-ad9a114 {margin-bottom:12px !important;}.stk-ad9a114 .stk-block-text__text{font-family:\"Roboto Condensed\", Sans-serif !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Tubs, pints, gelato cups, frozen yogurt and novelty packs all share this failure profile.

A single SKU often combines a CPET or polypropylene tray, a film lid, a paperboard sleeve and sometimes a secondary carton. The label has to hold up across whichever surface it lands on. A label can adhere perfectly to the paperboard sleeve while lifting on the polypropylene tray in the same product family. The complication isn&#8217;t temperature; it&#8217;s that production lines rarely change adhesive between SKUs, so one specification has to perform on all of them.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-39b34df\" id=\"frozen-bakery-products\" data-block-id=\"39b34df\"><style>.stk-39b34df {margin-bottom:6px !important;}.stk-39b34df .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:18px !important;color:#1d3a6b !important;font-weight:700 !important;font-family:\"Roboto Condensed\", Sans-serif !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px){.stk-39b34df .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:18px !important;}}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-color\">Frozen bakery products<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-731be21\" data-block-id=\"731be21\"><style>.stk-731be21 {margin-bottom:12px !important;}.stk-731be21 .stk-block-text__text{font-family:\"Roboto Condensed\", Sans-serif !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Frozen dough, par-baked bread, pastries and laminated bakery items are typically packed warm from production and dropped immediately into blast freezers. The label is applied near ambient temperature and has to survive a 60 to 80\u00b0F swing within minutes.
