International Sleeve Label Conference 2013

Sleeve labels have been, and continue to be, the leading performer of the major labeling formats. While growth has slipped back from the double digit ranges enjoyed over recent years, they continue to gain market share and grow at

a rate significantly higher than alternatives such as pressure-sensitive and glue applied labels. Of the three recognized sleeve label formats – heat shrink TD sleeve labels; stretch sleeve labels; ROSO™/RFS MD shrink sleeve labels – heat

shrink sleeve labels continue to be the leading sleeving technology, but there is significant interest in the RFS MD shrink sleeve alternative driven by ongoing material developments.

The INTERNATIONAL SLEEVE LABEL CONFERENCE 2013 is seventh in the series of dedicated conference platforms addressing this unique method of product labeling and decoration. The conference will provide delegates with a

review of the global and regional markets by materials and end uses; will discuss how sleeve labels continue to address the needs of brand owners to promote brands and gain shelf appeal; will update delegates on material and equipment

developments; and address the issues concerning sustainability, polymer cost evolution, and environmental impact that all factor into future growth potential for this exciting labeling format.

Presentations and discussions by experts and industry leaders from across the value chain will identify the key drivers, trends, and innovations shaping this label format by providing market data, independent research, case

studies, and discussions on materials and process developments. Delegates will also benefit from the ability to network and exchange ideas and information with their industry peers.
