Reseal-it resealable labels
Macfarlane Labels Ltd owns the patented reclosable and tamper-evident labelling system Reseal-it. This innovative labelling solution delivers easy opening and repeatable reseability, whilst maintaining product freshness. The main advantage offered by Reseal-it is the prevention of oxygen permeation through the label thus maintaining optimum shelf life of the product.

The system is flexible, environmentally-friendly and easy to operate.
