A HEALTHY PLAN FOR BUILDING PROFITS
FINAT Launches #LABELicious Competition International label association FINAT has launched its #LABELicious competition to attract fresh, creative and enthusiastic industry talent.The initiative follows the finding of the latest FINAT Radar industry survey that discovered how challenging it is for the industry to attract a newly skilled next generation workforce. The competition also marks FINAT’s 60th anniver- sary, and its aim is to increase awareness among stu- dents and young professionals about the creative, technical and leadership skills involved in shaping to- morrow’s labels and label sector.The goal is to educate students and young professionals about the exciting and challenging opportunities the industry offers and how their innovative spirits can make a difference. The #LABELicious competition features three cate- gories, all of which have an important sustainability aspect.These include: • Brand Design : The winning entry will demon- strate how in 2025 a branded label will create an out- standing experience, competitive advantage and added value for a brand in its own product category. • Smart / Intelligent / Multifunctional Labels :The winning entry will demonstrate how technology adds value to a label through new functionality, other than branding alone. • Out of The Box : The winning entry will demon- strate how out-of-the-box-thinking, combining both creative design and technology, offers new applica- tions and added-value possibilities in product label- ing. This could also present a vision of the entrant’s future work environment in the industry. As further details and rules for the competition are being developed, the project is designed to demon- strate how the label profession is evolving, how la- bels and adjacent technologies are key to the success of brands and industry processes, and ultimately, why the label industry is an attractive work option for young talent. FINAT plans to develop this project throughout 2018 and 2019. It will work with a wide range of partners and stakeholders, including companies in the label industry, national associations, national and international media, and partners from vocational ed- ucational institutions and universities. The YMC will hold its fifth Global Congress from September 5-7 in Bucharest, Romania.This year’s pro- gram will focus on best practices in HR aspects, inter- nal relations and managing workforce, logistical challenges, and future developments in packaging from a brand owner's perspective.
