Profesionalno natisnjene nalepke so danes velik posel. Zelo velik. Podjetja morajo označiti in razlikovati svoje izdelke in blagovne znamke, nalepke po meri se lahko uporabijo na zanimive nove načine, količina natisnjenih kvadratnih metrov v sektorju pa se je v zadnjih letih skoraj podvojila. Celo v današnji spletni dobi zasnova nalepke igra izjemno pomembno vlogo pri sprejemu izdelka. Etiketa ali nalepka na steklenici ali embalaži izdelka odraža sporočilo in identiteto blagovne znamke.
Najnovejši podatki inštituta za tržne raziskave Smithers Pira kažejo, da je količina natisnjenih kvadratnih metrov v tem sektorju narasla s 4 milijard leta 2014 na 7 milijard leta 2017.
Trgovina, industrija in distribucija danes ne bi mogle delovati brez nalepk. Z večbarvnimi ilustracijami jih najdemo na skoraj vseh izdelkih, ki jih kupimo v prodajalnah na nakupovalnih ulicah, lekarnah, prodajalnah za domače mojstre ter celo v hipermarketih na obrobjih mest in vrtnih centrih – ne glede na to, če so izdelki pakirani v steklenicah, škatlah, kozarcih, loncih, pladnjih ali drugih vrstah posod, pakirani v folijo, ali celo pritrjene neposredno na raznolikih izdelkih, kot so kosilnice, teniški loparji, oblačila ali strojna oprema.
Nalepke so nepogrešljiv medij, ki se lahko uporabi za označevanje in pomoč pri trženju najrazličnejšega blaga ter za zagotavljanje bistvenih potrošniških ali zakonskih informacij, kot so teža ali količina, kontaktni podatki dobavitelja ali proizvajalca, sestavine ali seznami vsebine ter morda tudi informacije o shranjevanju, ravnanju, zdravi prehrani, uporabi ali varnosti.
Poleg tega danes skoraj vse nalepke vsebujejo črtno kodo – vzorce črnih in belih črt, ki se optično preberejo na blagajnah – za označevanje in določanje cen izdelkov na računih kupcev. Najrazličnejše nalepke s črtnimi kodami se uporabljajo tudi v proizvodnem sektorju ter sektorju skladiščenja, odpreme in distribucije za raznolike uporabe, kot so sestavljanje in tovarniška avtomatizacija, označevanje delov in komponent ter na področju sledenja in sledljivosti skozi celotno dobavno verigo.
V zadnjih letih so nove inovacije za nalepke prinesle tudi rast posebnih vrst nalepk, ki lahko komunicirajo z mobilnimi telefoni za dostop do spletnih mest, zagotavljanje več informacij za potrošnike, sodelovanje v nagradnih igrah, igranje iger ali pridružitev družbenim omrežjem. Nekatere nalepke so tudi edinstveno spremenljive ali prilagojene.
Skratka, nalepke so postale bistveni sestavni del vsakodnevnega sodobnega življenja v takšni ali drugačni obliki. Zato ni presenetljivo, da so raznovrsten nalepke eno najhitreje rastočih sektorjev v tiskarski industriji, skupaj s prilagodljivo embalažo, s povprečjem okrog 4–6 % letne rasti po svetu vsaj v zadnjih 30 letih (trenutna rast je ocenjena na 4,7 %) in skoraj vedno doseže rast, ki presega BDP. Na globalni ravni nalepke proizvajajo visoko specializiran nišni sektor tiskarske industrije, ki trenutno ustvarja več kot 60 milijard USD prometa.
Hitro adaptacija digitalnega tiska in naložbe vanj so močno vplivale na hitro rast tiska etiket, saj so spremenile način oblikovanja in izdelave etiket na zahtevo ter možnosti njihove uporabe na nove zanimive načine, na primer etikete za steklenice, etikete za živila, etikete z varnostnimi opozorili ...
The label printing sector has grown to such an extent that annual installations of digital label presses are now close to 30% of all narrow-web press installations worldwide, with over 3,000 digital label presses installed worldwide in the label industry at the end of 2015.
Looking ahead, digital label presses are forecast to make-up close to 40% or more of all annual narrow-web press installations by 2020.
Against this backdrop, the overall value of digitally printed label jobs nowadays is viewed as far greater than the printed cost alone. Industry estimates indicate that although digital label printing is currently only about 3% to 5% of all printed pressure-sensitive label jobs by volume, it makes up some 15% to 18% or more of all print jobs by value.
The many benefits of this growing sector include:
A seamless workflow has become one of the essentials of successful digital label production. It provides the basis for minimizing errors and paperwork, speeds up response times, and provides continually up-dated manufacturing and customer information, as well as bringing down lead times.
Compared to conventional label printing, the digital process does not use printing plates, or have any platemaking materials, chemicals, processes or time requirement, saving you money.
For the brand owner, the opportunity to reduce or eliminate label warehousing, reduce time to market, and improve supply chain efficiencies can be a compelling reason to turn to digital label production. The possibility of just-in-time production, short-run proofing and test marketing of labels is also of great interest.
New added value and marketing opportunities for brand owners – indeed almost any size business ‒ have become a real focus for label users in today's ever-competitive environment. There are many examples of where digital printing solutions have provided the possibility to easily produce multiple versions or variations, variable design images, personalized labels, mass customization, new promotional opportunities and even regional, seasonal or special event labels. For the digital label producer these marketing opportunities offer the potential to add value and enhance profitability.
There is little doubt that the environment and sustainability have become important issues. By producing exact quantities rather than a percentage of 'overs', digital printing reduces print wastage. Unlike other printing processes, there are also no chemicals, water, or plate making materials used with digital printing.
A relatively new, but growing area for digital design and printing with the latest software solutions is to incorporate security design backgrounds and special features, variable images, micro text, anti-copy features and much more.
The fact that digital labels can be printed individually means printers can produce sequentially numbered or coded labels, create hidden codes matched to visible codes, and provide changing codes that can be used with smartphone technology – all offering new possibilities for track and trace label solutions.
Digital label printing also brings in more business for the converter's conventional printing presses, while creating new opportunities in the shorter run and niche unsupported film markets for sleeves and flexibles. Around 14% of label converters that have invested in digital presses now also produce profitable shorter-run, mid- to narrow-web flexible packaging – sachets, pouches, tubes, pot lids, wrappers, bags and flexibles – for customers who started out on labels alone.
