Labels and Tags

We encounter a shift towards environmental conservation, (Recycle, Reuse and Reduce), and this calls for environmental load reduction, and biodegradable plastics to be used which decompose in the ground. In this direction we see the emergence of a number of innovative technologies such as spouted pouches used to keep liquid products like oil and soft drinks, multi-layer co-injection PET bottles, PET laminated container forming systems, super lightweight forming technology, and oxygen scavenging plastic container.
Light barrier film is another innovative technology used to protect from ultraviolet rays. Non-heating packaging materials for microwave oven, moisture absorbing materials, self-heating/cooling containers and biodegradable plastics, are more new technologies used in packaging.
Innovation in smart technologies such as remote authentication, RFID tags, along with the increase in the use of track & trace technologies, advanced printing technology, the labels and tags industry is expected to accelerate with applications in industries such as industrial, and consumer durables, transportation and logistics.
