Innovation and entrepreneurship have driven consistent growth in the label industry I spoke recently with a major finance group looking to invest in the label industry. One of their main questions was how it was possible for the label industry to have kept growing globally while growth and profitability in the wider commercial print industry faltered. My answer was two words: innovation and entrepreneurship. Looking at the fascinating ‘L&L looks back’ column in each edition of this magazine reminds us that innovation goes right back to the start of the narrow web industry, constantly creating new opportunities for label converters to add value and upsell their services.
