The surge in e-commerce has led had a significant impact on the label and package printing industry. While this was a trending topic prior to the pandemic, the advancement of online ordering increased exponentially.

The rise of e-commerce has directly fueled the growth of the label market by driving demand for efficient, reliable, and scalable labeling solutions.  This growth has been witnessed across large segment channels, such as retail, and warehouse automation, leading to greater demand for thermal labeling products. There is no sign of slowing down, either.

“The trends in packaging, such as customization, sustainability, and automation, the growth of third-party logistics providers, and innovations in labeling technology, like RFID, all indicate that thermal labels will remain at the core of e-commerce for the foreseeable future,” states Brett Borovicka, product manager, Avery Dennison. “With evolving needs around speed, sustainability, and traceability, the thermal label market will continue to adapt to meet the growing demands of the digital shopping world.”

Plus, Inland Packaging, a family-owned label and packaging manufacturer, has been named a finalist for the 36^th annual Wisconsin Manufacturer of the Year Award in the Large Manufacturer Category.
