Page 5 of 12 © ALTECH SRL - May 2009 WHY TO GO LINERLESS… LABELS COST SAVING 15% to 30% consumable cost saving, respect to self-adhesive traditional labels. Eliminating the liner (glassine+silicon) the 35% of the raw materal cost is eliminated. FURTHER ECONOMICAL BENEFITS It ends the collection and disposal of liner waste (non recyclable); all the material is used. Reductions in media dimension and weight, reduce of 50% labels transportation and storage costs. Eliminating the gap less ribbon is consumed to print a label and it provides with a life extension of the print head.

Page 7 of 12 © ALTECH SRL - May 2009 ADVANCED MANAGEMENT MODEL – ISO Pro-active companies see in the element “environment” a critical factor for the success and an important competitive lever. This is with the convinction that long term benefits will be much higher then costs, simply because they are just anticipating the inevitable evolution of environmental laws: EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste; EN 13428:2005 Packaging - Requirements specific to manufacturing and composition - Prevention by source reduction. The application of BOPP labels on shrink wraps and palletts allows complete recycling of the film waste (plastic on plastic). Carton waste disposal allows different material contamination up to 10% of the total weight. ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE

Page 8 of 12 © ALTECH SRL - May 2009 CARTIERA DI FAGNANO SPA, Fagnano – Italy: “The waste paper we recycle is very much contaminated by plastic and aluminium (laminated). During the pulp preparation in the “pulper”, we obtain the separation of the contaminating materials from the carton fibres mass. These materials are then extracted and pressed to be shipped to the incinerator. The percentage of the waste contamination fixes its purchasing price (€/ton)”. ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE

It is fully coated on all the reverse surface. It has been developed to obtain linerless labels for product identification (typically with a bar code), labels that can be printed by thermo transfer technology. White or printed colour options are available. Among the printed solutions, the reverse printed allows obtaining labels with high scratch-proof resistance. LINERLESS ADHESIVE MATERIAL
