Did you know that in the pressure sensitive labelstock industry more than 200,000 pallets of material are shipped each month? While shipping is vital to the industry, connecting raw material suppliers, labelstock manufacturers, converters and end-users, supply chain participants can – and should – do more to mitigate its impact on the environment. By packing more MSI per order, you can reduce pallet waste and increase shipping efficiency. UPM Raflatac will award 300 square feet of UPM ProFi™ decking to the labelstock customer who reduces their packing footprint the most. Read more about how to optimize your shipments and enter our contest.

 |
|
Retail pharmacies are an epicenter of label production. Now they are also an epicenter of change, as many pharmacies have begun switching from dual web laser printing to direct thermal printing. The reason why: Direct thermal printing enables retail pharmacies to meet the requirements of the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), while eliminating the need to control and destroy labelstock, ribbons or toner cartridges containing sensitive patient data. Read our expert article to learn more.

Ending the coupon chase with RFID |
 |
|
While grocers have long relied on coupons to lure shoppers to their stores, that marketing approach has come at a cost: high marketing dollars allocated to weekly print advertising and a portion of the $317 billion in coupon savings shoppers claimed last year. Now, one of the industry’s own has found a new way to improve customer retention and store profitability that doesn’t require deep discounts. TOP Food & Drug, a leading grocery store in Washington State, has implemented a customer connection program that leverages RFID technology and an on-demand customer acquisition and retention platform delivered as 'software as a service' to change the grocery game – for good.
