The present invention also concerns a process for the production of a film, the use of the wealth. As a stretch-sleeve up film and articles provided with the oil of the invention, such as packaging. The present disclosure is directed to a stretch-sleeve film and articles including the stretch-sleeve film. The stretch-sleeve film includes at least three layers including two skin layers and a core layer. The core layer includes at least 75 wt % of an ethylene/a-olefin copolymer (A) characterized by (i) a density from 0.890 g/cc to 0.920 g/cc; (ii) a Mw/Mn from 2.0 to 4.0; (iii) a ZSVR less than 6.0; and (iv) a CDC from 85 to 150. At least one skin layer includes a polymeric material selected from the ethylene/a-olefin copolymer (A), a low density polyethylene, a medium density polyethylene, and combinations thereof. The stretch-sleeve film has an elastic recovery at 55% stretch of at least 95%.

A system for labeling a container includes a label forming section, a buffer section, and a bonding section. The label forming section includes a first rotatable turret having a plurality of forming mandrels. The buffer section includes a second rotatable turret having a plurality of buffer receptacles. The bonding section includes a third rotatable turret having a plurality of bonding stations. The label forming section forms a label in a frustoconical shape using one of the forming mandrels and transfers the label to one of the buffer receptacles of the buffer section. The buffer section receives, in a buffer receptacle, the label followed by a container blank, and transfers the label and the container blank together to one of the bonding stations of the bonding section. The bonding section bonds the label to the container blank in the bonding station.
