President of ELSET, Mr. Th. Kalakvouras and the member of its Administrative Council, Mr. Ag. Mpalamatsias, gave an interview on the newspaper “Typographia” about the crisis, its consequences and the future

The slogan “back to normality” seems simple and easy, but in fact it isn’t. It can’t come true in a day and the new “normality” won’t be exactly the one that existed before the pandemic. It’s widely known that the future will bring changes and we can’t understand how many, which ones and how big they will be.

President of ELSET, Mr. Theodoros Kalakvouras and the member of its Administrative Council, Mr. Aggelos Mpalamatsias, explain in their interview in “Typographia” that the label industry couldn’t turn down its productivity during the pandemic, since it had to provide uninterruptedly the companies of food, medicines or cleaning supplies production. They also talked about the way and the size of the COVID-19 effects on the label industry, the difficulties they faced on the job scheduling, the problems on the smooth handling of raw materials, the upcoming changes on the label industry, the participation of ELSET in the battle against the pandemic, the future of the sector’s exhibitions and for the positive messages for the future, since usually a sunshine comes after the rain.

LABE INDUSTRY: FIGHTING WITH THE CRISIS

Avgerinos Chatzchrysos*

Fifty years has passed by the “package revolution”. We turned from the non-pack delivery of the grocery stores to the flow pack of the supermarkets. The glass bottle with the company’s name graved on it was replaced by the plastic disposable bottle or the tetra pack. The detergent powder on the carton box now is a bottle with a measuring tape cap. That’s when the “label revolution” broke out. The label had a lot of names before adopting the common name it has now: sign, model, drawing, cliché, paper, carton, ribbon, badge, card, image etc. Nowadays, every product has its own self-adhesive label as a reference point.
