World Labels
This study analyzes the global label market. In the context of this report, labels are defined as any flexible material adhered to an object to indicate contents, pricing, ownership, directions, destinations, rating or other information. Decorative decals and stickers are also included. The study excludes all cloth and woven labels (e.g., garment labels), as well as labels printed directly onto containers without the use of an intervening substrate. Also excluded are tags, nameplates, decorative pressure sensitive tapes and unprinted shrink neckbands.
