The booklet label is dead, long live the multilayer label
From Paper Booklet Labels to Multilayer Labels: a shift towards the future. In the dynamic world of product labeling, the way we present and communicate product information has evolved over the years. It is time to bid farewell to the traditional paper booklet labels that have served us faithfully, but have become less suitable for today's needs. As of 2012, our focus has pivoted to a more contemporary variant: the multilayer label. Let's discuss why this shift is not only advantageous but necessary.
The downside of paper booklet labels
Paper booklet labels, though once practical, come with a set of challenges that are hard to overlook in the modern age:
- They are prone to water or condensation damage. The ink tends to run out, compromising legibility, and worse, mold can form, leading to unattractive and potentially harmful conditions.
- Inconsistent thickness during production can cause severe problems. Labels need to be uniform for efficient processing & packaging. Inconsistencies can slow down the production line and negatively impact the final product presentation.
- The appeal of a paper booklet label tends to diminish once it's opened. This negative effect on the look and feel of the product can tarnish the perceived quality of your brand.
- The ease with which paper booklet labels can be counterfeited poses a serious risk to brand authenticity. Counterfeit products can tarnish your brand's reputation, affecting your revenue and consumer confidence.
- When it comes to environmental considerations, paper booklet labels on plastic packaging can complicate recycling processes. Paper contamination in recycling chains hinders the circular economy we all strive to support.
- Finally, to put it bluntly, paper booklet labels have an outdated aesthetic. In a world where presentation is key, the label should reflect the quality of your product.
Enter the era of multilayer labels
Enter the multilayer label - an innovative solution to the problems posed by traditional paper booklet labels. Not only do multilayer labels provide a sleek, modern aesthetic, but they also come with functional benefits that far outweigh their predecessor:
- The complexity of multilayer labels' production makes them nearly impossible to counterfeit, protecting your brand from fraudulent activities.
- They are more durable and less prone to the issues caused by moisture or varying production dimensions. They maintain a consistent, high-quality appearance that does not degrade over time or when exposed to external elements.
- Moreover, multilayer labels ensure better compatibility with plastic packaging, contributing to efficient and clean recycling processes, aligning with global sustainability goals.
