In Europe, all available printing processes are utilized by label printers, but
flexo is the significant leaden Rotary offset litho and letterpress, screen
printing, foiling (hot and cold}, and gravure are also used; and today many
Digital processes are the third most popular form of label conversion after
UV and water-based flexo in North America, with >50% of converters
employing the technology in house.
The Asian printers and converters of labels are more fragmented in their
printing process choices.
In South East Asia, rotary narrow-web presses are used less than in Europe
and North America. It is estimated that narrow-web accounts for around
60% of usage, with letterpress printing, although flexo is growing rapidly.
Foiling and screen process printing are also used.
South East Asia is trending to flexo printing - with UV flexo the major
direction for investment in narrow-web rotary presses, often in
combination with other processes such as foiling, screen, and digital
processes. Investments in stand-alone digital presses are also noted.
In India, in more recent years, the flexo process, particularly UV flexo, has
begun to take hold, with strong investment. The Indian market appears
to be following the European trend and is supported by European press
producers who are active throughout the country.
In China, there is a drive for the print standards and consistency provided
by narrow-web flexo presses, as a result of global end users/brand owners
establishingtheir FMCG product portfolios in China, Chinese printers and
converters are reluctant to invest quickly in technology as:
n The cost of imported label presses is high
w The quality of locally-produced label presses is not yet considered to
be of a generally acceptable standard
» The costs of spares and maintenance is high
» Origination costs are high

10.3 Pressure-sensitive Labe
Application Processes
There are hybrid labeling machines that use certain of the features
described for the three basic systems above. These hybrid machines
include:
End users who will have the ultimate responsibility for running the
equipment and achieving the required levels of labeling efhciency set the
specifications. They are also the determinants of key areas of the machine
operation and the machine/label materials interface as they specify:
» Label materials
• Facestock
• Adhesive
• Release liner
» Type of applicator
» Line conditions - ambient, speed, run length, etc
» Key label line components - detectors, etc
» Specify equipment that is application-specific

THE FUTURE FOR
PRESSURE-SENSITIV
LABELING
c
o
FINAT in Europe and TLMI in North America are active in promoting the
fact that release liner in laminate construction is a necessary enabler of
pressure-sensitive labeling's efficacy, and should not be treated either as
general or packaging waste, either in terms of methods of disposal or in
terms of applied taxation levels. It is eminently recyclable. Paper-based
release liner can be recycled in 'cradle to cradle' papermaking, and PE film
liner base can be recycled into pellets for use in making fleece clothing,
trainer shoes, etc. However, in practical terms, the complex value chain in
pressure-sensitive label production and application makes collection and
recycling of spent release liner waste difficult to arrange since, in terms
of actual volumes of so-called 'packaging waste' at end users' premises,
spent release liner volumes are very small indeed.
In the developed markets of Europe and North America, moves are afoot
to establish industry-wide collection/recycling initiatives, but his effort is
still very much in its early stages.
