GLOBAL SLEEVE LABEL MARKET AND TECHNOLOGY REVIEW 2010

A Market Overview and Opportunities for Sleeve Label Producers, Material Suppliers, and Users.

AWA Alexander Watson Associates has published reports on the shrink sleeve market in 2001 and 2005. In 2007 the scope has been expanded to include stretch sleeves and MD shrink sleeves/ROSO™. Global Sleeve Label Market and Technology Review 2010 is the second assessment of the current status of the global sleeve label market, materials, and technologies, with particular emphasis on the changing structure and trends within this dynamic business area.
Global Sleeve Label Market and Technology Review 2010 focuses on materials used in the production of sleeve labels of all types, and on the markets and market trends. Compared to the downturns in more traditional and higher volume formats, trends in the use of sleeve labels showed ongoing, positive prospects for growth on a global and regional basis.
Sleeve labels have provided label designers, brand managers, packaging technologists, raw materials producers, and printers with a number of opportunities. This packaging decoration format provides high-quality, 360-degree, head-to-toe graphics on a wide spectrum of complex container geometries. Learn about the opportunities and challenges in the sleeve label market and how your business can benefit from this dynamic technology.
Sleeve labels – heat shrink, stretch, and ROSO™/MD shrink styles – have required significant developments in, for instance, label materials, adhesives, ink systems, origination, and printing technologies. These developments have impacted every step of the value chain, and have contributed to fresh concepts and new approaches to fully leverage the unique characteristics of these label formats.
The collection of primary data is a key element in the research methodology used for this study. AWA conducted in-depth telephone and email interviews with leading sleeve printers/converters, raw materials suppliers, end users, and industry experts. Secondary research for this study is based on AWA’s comprehensive internal database of label market information, a review of available published literature, and an analysis of trade and industry statistics.
