Bringing Branding Benefits to Beer
By Kevin



Ever since 1875, when the Bass red triangle became the first registered trademark, brewers have recognised the importance of on beer bottle branding, and now the latest printing technologies are being harnessed to achieve the best packaging impact for today's brewers. Beer bottle labels play a major role in ensuring that beer packaging has strong impact at the point of sale. Packaging technology is advancing dramatically, with innovations in the printing, production and application of beer labels, and a move away from the traditional wet glue labels to high impact self adhesive labels. Recent developments in print technology have helped improve the aesthetic quality of self adhesive labels. High-end print techniques such as foils, special links and MetalFX provide a visually attractive label, able to fulfil brewer's stringent brand values. The economics of self adhesives have also been transformed with specialist label and packaging printers now available to produce high quality labels in economic short runs. Traditional wet glue labels are applied by using adhesive on the bottling line. As they need to sit on the bottling line in a box or magazine each made specifically for a single label size and format, this process tends to limit the range of labels available. By contrast, self adhesive label are pre-coated with adhesive and applied to bottles from a carrierweb. The process is cleaner, involves less complex machinery and can quickly be adapted to all label sizes and formats. Traditional wet glue labels may suffer from the problems of drying out, tearing or fall off before they reach the customer. The technical specification of self adhesive materials can be tailored to ensure that each label type is fir for its purpose. By using appropriate adhesives, self adhesive labels can even be applied to web bottles on the line. Such innovations ensure that labels remain in prime condition up to the point of sale.

Why does the EU always pick on packaging?

"No one has ever seen a photograph of one tonne of CO2 but politicians can readily point to packaging waste which is visible to consumers every day" THIS statement by an executive for a multi-national packaging manufacturer beautifully describes why packaging remains a convenient environmental scapegoat and why an increase in more harmful attacks on packaging from the political quarter can be expected in the coming years. Later this year EU leaders meet for a mid-term review of progress towards achievement of the 2010 goals set for Europe's economy, known as the Lisbon strategy. As already signalled by the recent Kok Report, Europe is falling behind our competitors economically, so European leaders and the European Commission are unlikely to advocate more environmental legislation. Two big EU environmental programmes � climate change, with its emissions trading scheme already in place and the chemical proposals known as REACH � are already the cause of anxiety among industrial leaders who see them as a further burden on our economies at a time when Europe is struggling to keep up with North American and Asian growth rates. Precisely because of this slackening in demand for more environmental regulation in other areas, packaging will remain...
