UPM Adhesive Materials and Mark Andy are extending a partnership that has become increasingly relevant in today’s converter environment, where material performance, sustainability, and press compatibility must work together seamlessly. Now entering its seventh consecutive year in the Americas, the collaboration combines UPM’s portfolio of self-adhesive paper and film materials with Mark Andy’s narrow- and mid-web press technologies across conventional, hybrid, and digital workflows. For converters, this kind of supplier alignment reduces uncertainty around substrate selection and production performance while supporting faster decision-making.
The broader significance lies in the industry’s continued push toward more sustainable labeling solutions without compromising runnability or cost efficiency. UPM’s materials are also featured in Mark Andy’s demo centers, giving converters the opportunity to see how substrates perform in live press environments before investing. As David Medlar, Vice President of Product Line Management at Mark Andy, notes, “Together, we help converters make confident decisions about materials and print processes that support both performance expectations and evolving print-buyer requirements.” This renewal signals continued demand for tightly integrated supplier partnerships that simplify technology adoption and help converters respond to changing brand expectations.
