KINGSPORT, TN | Embrace HY copolyester resins from Eastman Chemical Co. are suited for labeling and packaging. Said to provide smarter solutions for shrink body labels, product reportedly offers excellent printability, a soft touch, and noise-free film for squeezable packaging.

Easy label removal enables recycling. Material maintains its shape in varying environmental conditions. Lower shrink force can be used with thin-walled plastic containers.
