"The tag/label industry is generally in a very strong position strategically and financially," says Frank Gerace, president and CEO of Sharonville, Ohio's Multi-Color Corporation and chairman of the TLMI board of directors. "Strategically, tags/labels remain important and relevant as a dominant component in consumer packaging, as a means of both product identification and consumer marketing. Financially, although growth and profitability have declined, [the segment] remains healthy and sustainable."
