Changing market conditions, new legal requirements and consumer preferences developing in line with sustainability criteria are changing the environment for manufacturers of packaging aids. Recyclable materials must also be used for labels, labelling materials, closures, handles and sealing aids. Innovative technologies such as Near Field Communication chips in labels to improve product tracking, authenticity certification or consumer interaction need to be integrated. Labels must also ensure that all necessary product information can be clearly and permanently displayed, which influences both the choice of materials and the printing process.
