It features an extended examination of the alternative labelling technolo- gies alongside an evaluation of their comparative performance, defines the market structure for both self-adhe- sive and other label technologies in Europe and identifies the key market segments and - in many cases - the changed market drivers. The Survey was prepared for FINAT by AWA Alexander Watson Associates BV.
