UP-Labels spotlights high-performance tire sidewall marketing systems
Visitors to the UP-Labels booth are enjoying live demonstrations of the UP-Tireworks application process. The company’s latest development enables tire manufacturers to apply custom micro-decals featuring logos, safety icons or product-specific data directly to the tire sidewall. The micro-decals are applied during the final finishing stage of production and are compatible with semi- and fully automated processes. They are exceptionally thin, delivering a discreet ‘no-label’ look that blends with the tire sidewall. “Tire Technology Expo is our premier stage to showcase innovation, spark new business and deepen existing partnerships through high-level industry dialogue,” said the company’s CEO, Gerald Ullrich.
