The label market in Europe has undergone a dramatic change in the past decade. Dominating all these changes is the self-adhesive label, a technology which has surpassed the wet-glue label volume usage and which grows annually at ten times the rate of any other method of labelling.
At the same time moves to filmic label stocks, the introduction and growth of UV flexo. and combination process presses, demand for anti-theft and security labels have created further opportunities
A further major driving force in the sector has been the far reaching implications of the digital printing revolution and the rapid growth in variable image printed label applications ranging from FMCG retail food & nonfood products through industrial and logistics applications.
