Tim Flynn, president, Continental Datalabel, Elgin, Ill.
The label industry will rebound modestly in 2010 as the economy aims to recover. However, the industry faces additional challenges as we move closer to becoming a paperless and "labelless" society. Continental Datalabel will continue to focus on innovations in the personalization market. One of the most exciting things we're doing right now is creating products to personalize just about anything you can think of—beverage and container labels and wraps, writing instrument wraps and labels, custom-created boxes and skins for electronic devices. In 2010, look for iaPeel, our exclusive line of photo-quality, inkjet-printable skins that enable individuals to personalize their iPods and iPhones using our software and their imaginations.
