TLMI Publishes 2007 North American Label Study

NAPERVILLE, Ill.—Tag and Label Manufacturers Institute (TLMI) announces the publication of the 2007 edition of the North American Label Study (NALS). NALS 2007 provides an up-to-date overview of the pressure-sensitive label and product decoration market.

The study gives TLMI member companies—both converters and suppliers—access to market data and analysis to facilitate decision making in areas that may be critical to future business growth and profitability. TLMI President Frank Sablone comments, “Our members need and value the regular update that our NALS study—now in its sixth edition—provides.”

The NALS 2007 delivers an assessment of the market structure for pressure-sensitive labels and other labeling and product decoration technologies, assessing the value chain segments—from raw material supply to end use—and the market drivers in each segment. The study evaluates the fundamental changes that have taken place in recent years, both in the industry itself and in end-use segments, identifying the drivers for this change.

Central to the study is the qualitative and quantitative analysis of present and future demand for labels in North America, segmented by regional characteristics and end-use markets. This key data is provided in terms of volume; current and projected growth rates; label substrates and converting technologies; and the relative position of alternative labeling and product decoration technologies. The scope of the content embraces pressure-sensitive and glue applied labels; all types of sleeving; in-mold labels; and other technologies, including flexible packaging and direct-printed packages. The key end-user market segments—from food and beverage to pharmaceuticals, chemicals, transport and logistics, and consumer durables—are all evaluated.
