SOI Labels and Tags: Satisfaction Guaranteed
Labels and tags remain the most cost-effective way to mark products, packaging, shipping containers and boxes, and a vast variety of other applications. Labels and tags that are used in a secondary printing application by the end-user, such as thermal or laser printer labels, continue to show growth. This continues to be a strong market since it is a very efficient way for companies to create shipping labels, code products in the packaging line or create unique labels on demand. Demand for label and tag products in the short term appears to be stable, and the indicators for growth for this market in the long term appear to be there. As most label and tag converters have done in the past few years, we have trimmed staffing and held off on large capital investments. However, in my opinion, the companies that have fared well as a result of this will be very strong going into this decade.
