Label industry Metamorphosis

John Bankson, president/CEO of Label Technology (Merced, Calif.) and current president of the TLMI, said the business impact in 2003 was dependent on the markets you were in. He observed that the label market was basically flat in 2003, with some growth in niche areas. Although optimistic about 2004, Bankson sees the industry facing serious challenges from customers to become more efficient and provide complete solutions.
