The labeling sector is evolving rapidly, driven by new technologies, more sustainable materials and increasingly demanding regulations. Brands are looking for solutions that combine quality, efficiency and environmental responsibility, while graphic companies must adapt to an environment where innovation and regulatory compliance are key to maintaining competitiveness. In this context, understanding where the sector is heading is essential to offer products that meet current and future market needs.
Innovation in printing materials and functionalities
Technological evolution is expanding the creative and functional possibilities of graphic printing. Materials such as sustainable inks, thermochromic inks that change with temperature, invisible inks or those that create holographic effects are becoming more common. At the same time, interactive technologies such as NFC, RFID or QR codes are being incorporated, connecting printed materials with digital experiences and adding value to both packaging and labeling.
European food labeling regulations
Changes in European food labeling regulations require more detailed information on allergens, traceability and sustainability, which may involve adjustments in design and printing processes. These updates directly affect manufacturers and graphic companies, who must ensure that their products comply with legal requirements and maintain clear, reliable communication for consumers.
Stricter environmental regulations
Environmental regulations continue to move toward more demanding standards, limiting the use of non‑recyclable inks, solvents and papers. This scenario benefits companies already working with ecological criteria and using certified materials and low‑impact processes. Adapting to these regulations is not only an obligation but also an opportunity to reinforce environmental commitment and stand out in an increasingly conscious market.
