The current global self-adhesive label stock developments focus on consumer goods such as food, beverage, medical, chemical, cosmetic, healthcare, electronics, and childcare industries. Due to their short consumption span and rapid developments, these industries’ demands for self-adhesive label have been growing rapidly as well.
