Release liner conference to take place in September

The annual AWA Label Release Liner Industry Seminar 2010 takes place on September 13, 2010, at the Hyatt Rosemont Hotel, Chicago, USA. Continuing its tradition of prefacing the label industry’s major exhibition, Labelexpo (this year taking place in Chicago), the seminar is aimed at all those associated with the release liner and pressure-sensitive label market as supplier, producer or user.

The pressure-sensitive label market represents over 50 percent of all release liner produced and used, and it is currently experiencing considerable change. Forward- and backward- integration; substitution of pressure-sensitive labels by alternative decorating technologies;  high material costs; increased competition and margin pressures; a resurgence of interest in linerless labels and waste management are all issues in the industry today. The Label Release Liner Industry Seminar brings together experts from all levels of the release liner value chain, to highlight trends and opportunities as well as to assess the challenges.

Organized by AWA Conferences & Events, the seminar features a program which is complemented by a tabletop exhibition and by end-of-day cocktails hosted by the event’s platinum sponsor UPM.
