VERSION
2.0
The new FINAT Educational Handbook, which was published in September 2011, aims to be the key reference
source for the combined knowledge embedded in the association and covers the various stages and aspects of
the unique self-adhesive labels and labeling process. This edition replaces the existing version that was first
published in its original language (English) by FINAT in 1996, edited by Ron Spring, and later released in German,
French and Spanish, with authorized translations in Italian and Turkish issued by the respective national
associations.
To allow easy access to the numerous cross references and links provided in the text, this edition is made
available in electronic format. This protected PDF file allows users not only to conveniently read this book on PC,
laptop or tablet reader, but also to cross-link within the book or link from the present document to the
underlying reference on the FINAT website or other source. In electronic format, the Educational Handbook will
be a ‘living’ document to be updated at regular intervals, in response to new developments.

other product decoration solutions. It features an extended examination of the alternative labelling technolo-
gies alongside an evaluation of their comparative performance, defines the market structure for both self-adhe-
sive and other label technologies in Europe and identifies the key market segments and - in many cases - the
changed market drivers. The Survey was prepared for FINAT by AWA Alexander Watson Associates BV.
