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.
