Cost Reductions - The Pressure Sensitive Way

Along with options for changing materials and/or decoration methods, suppliers are gearing up existing programs to assist their customers with cost reduction activities. Ryan White, director of marketing services for Avery Dennison, Fasson Roll North America, reports that many of its converter customers are using Fasson's Advantage™ services such as Fasson EXACT™ and Splice-Free programs to reduce costs and complexity. These services help converters reduce scrap, run at higher speeds, and simplify changeovers, while lowering inventory levels. "We are in the process of expanding our product offering on these types of services to support customers' needs to reduce additional cost and complexity."
