Demand for Labels in Europe Steadily Increases in 2008

In 2008, the demand for Europe's self-adhesive labels will "stay stable and be at the best level", which is the judgment made by the European sticker association Finat. In 2007, sales of labels increased by 4.3%, and the total amount exceeded 5.5 billion square meters. In the first quarter of 2008, the growth of European labels failed to exceed the same period of last year for the first time in three years.

According to statistics, 70% of the label requirements are in the form of scrolls, while the demand for non-paper labels continues to grow, especially in Eastern Europe. Jules Lejeune, general manager of Finat, said that Eastern Europe will continue to be a market driver. "This is not only because the manufacturing industry is shifting to this area, but also because of the growth of people's income and domestic demand in the region."

David Harrison, the former president of Finat, said that (the sticker) this part "appears to be a new market opportunity and bring about new trends." "Adhesive labels are very suitable for short-run business, especially suitable for packaging," he said. Say.

He also stated that Finat is seeking to promote the sustainable growth of adhesive labels. "The label itself can be recycled with the packaging. We are also considering reducing the waste of the bottom paper and face paper." He also believes that label printing companies should also find ways to control the material, especially the rising cost of plastics.
