This September, Barcelona will host the world’s largest labelling and packaging exhibition Label Expo 2025. Once again the stage will be set for the latest innovations shaping our industry. As a company passionate about advancing solutions in asset labels, asset tags, and variable data technology, Custom Labels Ltd is excited to be part of this landmark event. Three of our team members will be attending to explore new trends in digital print presses, sustainable materials, and cutting-edge variable data handling.
Why Label Expo Matters
The global labelling sector continues to thrive, even in the face of economic pressures and supply chain challenges. Growth is expected to remain steady, with a greater focus on sustainable practices and smarter technologies. For us at Custom Labels Ltd, this is an opportunity to discover innovations that can directly benefit our customers, whether it’s more durable asset tags, eco-friendly substrates, or printing systems that can manage high-volume personalisation.
Spotlight on Materials and Formats
Visitors to the expo will encounter the full spectrum of label materials and formats, from pressure-sensitive and shrink sleeve labels to papers, films, adhesives, and inks. Sustainability is driving much of the conversation, with suppliers unveiling solutions such as biodegradable films, recycled paper stocks, and water-based inks.
At Custom Labels Ltd, we recognise that not every label material can be directly eco-friendly, especially when durability is critical. Many of our asset labels and asset tags are designed to withstand extreme conditions, from industrial environments to outdoor exposure. In these cases, sustainability comes from longevity: buying durable products reduces waste and resource consumption, lessening environmental impact by avoiding frequent replacements. While durable goods may have a higher upfront cost, their longer lifespan offers a significant eco-value by saving energy, materials, and landfill space compared to disposable or lower-quality items.
These approaches ensure that whether through new eco-materials or ultra-durable performance, the labels we supply contribute to a more responsible and sustainable future.
Smarter Printing and Data Handling
One of the areas we’re especially focused on this year is the evolution of digital print presses and the way they integrate with variable data handling. For industries that rely on serialised asset tags or labels containing unique information, these technologies unlock new levels of efficiency, accuracy, and customisation. RFID-enabled smart labels and AI-supported data systems are also on the horizon, promising even greater transparency and consumer engagement.
Looking Ahead
From bioplastics made from renewable resources to thinner, stronger label materials that reduce waste, the future of labelling is one of resilience and innovation. By attending Label Expo 2025, our team will gain first-hand insight into these breakthroughs and bring back fresh ideas to enhance the solutions we provide our clients.
At Custom Labels Ltd, we see events like Labelexpo not just as exhibitions, but as opportunities to reaffirm our commitment to delivering the highest-quality asset labels, asset tags, and tailored data-driven printing solutions.
Stay tuned as we share updates from Barcelona and highlight the innovations that will shape the future of labelling.
