In the past few years, most label manufacturers have used the East Asian machines, which have faced challenges in the quality of their products.
After the entry of the printing industry's exporters union and the introduction of this sector, the industry began the process of modernizing labels printing houses and, along with Chinese machines, European manufacturers were also has participating to the market.

In the meantime, Pardazesh Tasvir Ryan, Boad Negar Iranian and several other companies are equipped with coating and laminating machines to glue hologram labels, but they have not been producing film or glued paper for the normal label market.
Most of the imports of PSA paper and PSA films have been from China, Turkey, Germany and Japan in recent years, but with respect to customs duties which is 40%, most printing companies and consumers have been buying from domestic units.
The quality of the PSA paper and films is still not good, and there is no competition for it to grow in the market, although the price of these products is almost the same with the best brands!
