Eching, April 2004: In response to an increased demand for automated labeling and identification requirements, Avery Dennison Printer Systems Europe is to distribute Europlus’ end-to-end software tools called NiceLabel.

A rapid, reliable on-demand method of labeling products is becoming increasingly important for all areas of  logistics and production.
