Encyclopedia of Label Technology


Book Description

In the ten years since the first ever Encyclopedia for the label producer and label user sectors was published it has become an established and well-respected international reference source, providing a comprehensive understanding of the technology and terminology for all kinds of label and product decoration solutions. It included materials, adhesives, printing methods, application technologies, inspection systems as well as the related areas of tickets and tags. It also covered legislative requirements and the growing area of brand protection and security as well as new innovations, including smart labels, RFID, indicator labels and chipless tags. Now these topics have been substantially updated and extended in the latest edition of the Encyclopedia to incorporate the production of narrow-to-mid-web package printing, the fast-changing world of digital imaging, printing and finishing, digital direct-to-shape and the new technologies of digital watermarking, mobile interactive labels and packaging, as well as the latest converting and tooling solutions and an understanding of printed sachets, pouches, flexible packaging and cartons. More information has been included on the environment and sustainability, and mention made of all the leading industry associations and relevant bodies. More informative, more relevant and more comprehensive, this new edition of the Encyclopedia should be a basic reference source for every label printer/converter and industry supplier - as well as for the designer, pack producer and brand owner looking to better understand label and related technology, markets and applications.

Label Dispensing and Application Technology


Book Description

Without modern label dispensing and application technology there would not be a pressure sensitive label industry. They are what makes pressure sensitive labels so attractive to the food and beverage, healthcare and industrial sectors. This books aims to answer the key questions around label dispensing and application technology. How is it possible to separate pressure-sensitive face material from the silicone backing? How can labels be placed around corners or into recesses? How are products moved into the correct position for labeling, held steady or rotated on the label application line? Also included is a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for the applicator line. Often the fault will be related to the choice of substrate or to poor diecutting or rewinding. All of these factors are important for material suppliers, printers/converters and brand owners to understand. Chapters include: Understanding the basics of label application Manual and electric label dispensers and hand-held labelers Automating the labeling line - semi- and fully automatic machines Integrated and 'intelligent' product handling label application lines Overprinting, coding and marking on label applicators The use and application of linerless labels Label application troubleshooting tips and guidelines
