SOURCE: JAMES TOWNSEND AND SONS

Exeter-based Label Printer James Townsend & Sons have developed a major breakthrough in labeling technology, with the UK's first wet glue label using 100% recycled paper. Environmental concerns have led high volume customers including supermarkets to demand a maximum recycled content in labels, but poor adhesion issues have made this problematic - until now.

“Working alongside Hildon Water, we're particularly proud of this advance”, said Townsend's Technical Manager Terry Stedman. “We've always had an excellent record of delivering a quality product. Now we've a label that's environmentally sound yet still offers all the qualities of presentation and adhesion that our clients rightly demand. This is a real breakthrough.”

James Townsend are labelling specialists, working with both lithographic and flexographic wet glue labels printing onto all substrates. Research and development is a key component of their corporate approach and they have a history of offering their customers the very latest in packaging solutions. With a metallised version coming soon, this latest example of their cutting edge approach could turn out to be the most exciting to date.
