Release Liners - A Shrinking Violet?

"Trade associations such as the Tag & Label Manufacturers Institute (TLMI), as well as FINAT in Europe, are getting input from the major players in our industry, and are working with governments to implement reasonable standards for our industry," said Casey. "One of the trends is that suppliers of release liners, especially film liners, have drastically reduced liner caliper to reduce total poundage of label material to be supplied, but with less waste generated from the liner by total weight. Release liner manufacturers and others in our industry are closely following developments to monitor and adjust to different rules for different regional markets."
