European patent awarded
Montreal based manufacturer ETI Converting has now received a patent covering all 27 European Union countries for its “Labeline” equipment, which, in a single inline process, can print onto unsupported film, then add adhesive, silicone and liner plus diecutting to produce a finished roll of printed, self-adhesive labels. France’s second biggest label converter is said to have ETI machines in each of its plants, as does leading Spanish PS label converter Germark, and Russia’s number one, Okil Label.
