LABEL RELEASE LINER – ISSUES AND OPPORTUNITIES
Tuesday 05. July 2016 - AWAs annual industry seminar, Chicago
AWA Alexander Watson Associates Label Release Liner Seminar is now an established feature of the industry calendar – and conveniently takes place just before the annual Labelexpo exhibition and conference. This years location is Chicago, so Labelexpo exhibitors and visitors can gain an expert update on a key aspect of pressure-sensitive labeling on September 12th, at the Donald E Stephens Convention Center, Rosemont, just before the show opens at the same location.
The AWA Label Release Liner Seminar program, for all associated with and involved in the pressure-sensitive label and release liner market – suppliers, producers, and users – features presentations and interactive discussions on current industry topics, issues, and opportunities, as well as up-to-the-minute market data from release liner research specialists AWA Alexander Watson Associates.
Linerless labels
This years program includes a session on linerless labeling, now an established technology, especially for food pre-packs, featuring speakers from Catchpoint Ltd, UPM Label, Pack & Release, and Maan Group; and an update on the latest developments in optical quality control for release liner from Jochen Koenig, MD of inspection specialists Dr Schenk.
Release liner recycling
A new and particularly relevant feature of the program is a release liner recycling session, with presentations from TLMI Environmental Committee Chair Calvin Frost, Renae Kulis, Senior Director and Global Head of Sustainability at Avery Dennison, and Robert Parker, owner of label converters Label King, who is an active and successful participant in the recycling arena. The session will close with an interactive discussion with delegates on current status, and on evaluations of the way forward.
