The retail shelf is the frontline in the drive for brands and products to gain the attention of increasingly distracted consumers. Labels play a critical role. Not surprisingly, the demand to increase the visual appeal of labels is growing quickly. Label production technology is advancing rapidly to keep up and expanding the range of embellishment and decoration techniques available.
This book explains in detail all current methods of label enhancement. It begins with a thorough review of the more traditional methods such as foiling, embossing and novel printing techniques, and introduces the new technologies and innovations.
The use of smart materials, developments in multi-web manufacturing and the introduction of electronics in particular, are accelerating the evolution of the label as a more functional packaging component. These ‘smart’ and ‘active’ labels allow packaging to engage and interact with a wider range of human senses and smart devices. Their application, and the opportunity it presents, is covered in depth.
Chapters include:
- Introduction and markets
- Foil stamping processes
- Holograms
- Embossing
- Bronzing process
- Ink metalization
- Intaglio printing
- Lamination
- Thermography
- Special effect inks, varnishes and coatings
- Laser die-cutting
- Smart, active and intelligent labeling
- Label leaflets and multi-layer constructions

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
