pouches of multi-variant products.
In all global markets the need for labels to get smarter
will also drive premium value growth. This starts with global
supply chain management and track and trace, and moves to
environment (temperature, pressure) sensing, freshness indicators and integrated security elements
from RFID to specialist inks and varnishes. Consumer engagement will also drive innovation. Not just
personalization and customization but also linking to social media platforms through augmented
reality (AR), NFC and scannable codes.
Legal requirements to add more and more information is another key innovation driver, favoring added
value formats which still allow powerful branding while presenting data on ingredients, pack recyclability
and nutritional information. Shrink sleeves, bottom panels on IML containers, extended format pressure
sensitive labels (multi-panel, peel&read, booklet labels, AR-enabled labels) will all benefit.
What does all this mean for the label converter? It means first and foremost agility. The need to
match rapid changes in label and packaging formats requires presses capable of handling a wide
range of different substrates. Modern fully automated presses are fully capable of meeting these
requirements, as we make clear in the Press Trends article in this Yearbook.
In developing markets the requirement is more for super-efficient pressure-sensitive label presses,
without such high levels of automation. This is the key reason that press manufacturers now offer
their platforms in a range of automation levels, and it is why ‘PS-only’ presses remain in the major
press manufacturers’ development programs.
Where does digital fit into this puzzle? As we make clear in this Yearbook, flexography is now
targeting ever-shorter runs using fixed color palettes, sleeves, pre-setting and fast change dies to
reduce makeready time and waste. So digital needs to find its own value above and beyond simply a
short run flexo alternative.
And this is where smart labels and consumer engagement provide key value drivers. From track
and trace to anti-counterfeit, to personalized packaging and providing bespoke language variants,
digital is without doubt the standout process, whether in hybrid format or stand-alone machines with
value-adding finishing units.
All these factors help explain why the labels market globally continues to grow while commercial
print markets struggle, and they provide the key themes for this Yearbook.

differences between the winners and the Honorable Mentions is frequently so small. This is why we
often give joint awards when there are excellent but different features in more than one label. The Best
of the Best awards were presented during the Tarsus Global Awards evening during Labelexpo Europe
2017 in Brussels.
More details of how the World Label Awards work can be found at
www.worldlabelawardsassociation.com.
