Labels are easy to take for granted. For some consumers, they're nothing more than a vehicle for nutritional information or window dressing for their preferred bottle of wine or jar of gravy. But for end-users, labels are a ticket to effective branding. A successful label ultimately determines who remains one step ahead and who simply keeps up with the printing Joneses.
A Long and Winding Road
June 2008 From Print Professional
Times are tough; there’s no doubt about it. Costs are rising, competition is fierce and the economy is in a tailspin (or nose dive, depending on your perspective). “This was a difficult year for the [tag and label] business due not only to macroeconomic issues, including high energy costs and continuing high raw material inflation, but also because of growing competition to labels and tags in the packaging industry itself,” noted Corey Reardon, president and CEO of AWA Alexander Watson Associates, McLean, Va. The rising costs of materials—across the board—are at the top of most printers’ list of issues. A majority of tag and

Silkscreened Labels Keep On Selling
October 2004 From Print Professional
With new technology and processes, silkscreened labels continue to hold their own in an ever-changing industry. Silkscreened labels continue to stand the test of time. Known for their durability and staying power, they have helped users be a little more organized, a lot safer and, as times would have it, more politically aware. Running the gamut from bumper stickers and equipment labels to hard-hat decals and political signs, silkscreened labels remain an important component in the printed products industry. "Silkscreened labels are generally made for surfaces that are frequently exposed to the elements and that go through regular wear and tear," explained Jim

Manufacturers Identify Label Trends
May 2004 From Print Professional
With labels, the only thing that isn't changing is their widespread use. When asked about anything new or different within the past year regarding their label operations, manufacturers had a lot to say. John Shanley, president of Labels West, Woodinville, Wash., talked about greatly decreased order sizes, yet greatly increased order activity, and how the demands for consistently high-quality labels and extremely rapid turnarounds are necessitating digital technology. "High-quality label products used to be considered specialties. Now, that quality is expected on every label order, and companies are having to invest in that quality," commented Shanley.

Long Live Screenprinting
October 2001 From Print Professional
When durability is the question, screenprinted labels are the answer. Cracked, faded, beat-up labels are not only ugly and ineffective, they can be dangerous. After all, what good is a warning label if it's so faded that it's become illegible? Or an engine label that isn't chemical-resistant? The answer is no good at all—and the solution is screenprinting. Screenprinting involves pushing UV-cured or acrylic ink through a fine mesh screen mounted on a steel frame. The process offers vivid color, appealing texture and years of visibility and durability. Because of the way the inks adhere, and the versatility of screenprinting equipment, screenprinting can be
