With 41% of the world market share in labels, the glue applied technology remains the preferred choice. Embracing both cold (wet) glue applied labels and hot-melt, wrap-around glue applied labels, it grew overall by 4% in 2010, and is forecast to continue to grow in every region in the medium term, with Asia Pacific enjoying the most dynamic activity. Most glue applied labels are destined for the beverage market – which takes a 70% share of usage – and are based on papers.
