The Label Academy
has extended its book series with the publication of two new reference books,
‘Shrink Sleeve Technology’ and ‘Label Markets and Applications’.
‘Shrink Sleeve
Technology’ is an introduction to shrink sleeve labels and gives information to
help troubleshoot problems, improve quality, prevent errors and correct faults.
Technological advances have vastly expanded the market for shrink sleeve labels
and the book aims to guide readers through the film, pre-press, ink, printing
and application processing stages. The book was compiled by Mike Fairley,
founder of the Label Academy and Séamus Lafferty, Accraply president.
‘Label Markets and
Applications’ explores material specifications, print and finishing
requirements, and key global and national regulations for the consumer and
industrial markets as it examines each of the main end-user sectors. Outlining
the primary factors needed to produce quality labels that are compliant,
marketable and cost-effective, the book helps printers navigate modern label
production, with chapters dedicated to the major global label markets: food,
beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, non-food retail and industrial. ‘Label
Markets and Applications’ was authored by John Penhallow.
Fairley commented:
‘The books are an extremely useful reference for anyone involved in designing
and printing labels and product packaging. Whether it is for industry learning,
or for on-the-job research or investment purposes, both publications consist of
succinct practical information and are illustrated with a wide range of label
and packaging examples. It is hoped that readers will find the books valuable
in the future growth of their businesses and in enhancing their quality and
performance standards.’
