Release liner is unquestionably a key enabler for applying labels and tapes, protecting the seals on envelopes, hygiene and consumer wound care products, as well as a variety of industrial uses. It is also the subject of considerable focus today in relation to reuse and recycling -- particularly in the high-volume labelstock market. The current profile of this wide-ranging market is the subject of AWA Alexander Watson Associates' Global Release Liner Market Update 2015. Now in its eighth edition, this focused annual market report provides insights of value to all involved in, or seeking to explore, the release liner supply chain, in terms of current and forecast future status.

Is This Important to the Clothing Industry?

Advantages of Tagless T ShirtsDid you ever find the perfect knit top, love the color, the fabric, the way it looks in the store and buy it; just to find out that the label in the neckline drives you absolutely nuts the first time you wear it anywhere, and you get your scissors and snip it out, just to make a hole and ruin the garment? All of a sudden, a $40.00 designer top is relegated to clothes you wear on cleaning day.

Maybe, that is a little extreme, the label can be cut out successfully with care, as to not ruin a garment. But, then look at it from the manufacturer's viewpoint. He spent time designing the label, he spent money having it printed and sewn in, and it represents his brand. Then the customer cuts it out and throws it away. Not good!

Ancient House Printing Group, a family owned business based in Ipswich, was first established in 1845 as a book-selling and printing business in the historic building known as 'The Ancient House'. Rapid expansion saw the company divest the book-selling business, and then in 1985 move to its existing premises on an industrial estate just outside Ipswich where it is now spread over two buildings.
