Source Label has announced its deal to adopt Utroque’s revolutionary double-sided labeling system.
This new technology creates a landmark moment in label printing history. Instead of the traditional method of delivering labels on just one side of the release liner, Utroque uses both sides.
This reduces liner stock by 50%. Plus the Utroque system typically delivers 40% weight savings and up to a 25% cut in unit costs.
So is this the eco-friendly, sustainable solution that the packaging industry has been looking for to set it up for success in the 21st Century? Tim Lowe, MD of Source Labels, thinks that this is an eco-friendly, sustainable solution, hailing Utroque as: ‘a wondrous invention and innovation with benefits that are really compelling’.
The new system has the added advantage of being able to work with existing labeling lines.
