Curve Appeal is a patent-pending system encompassing Fasson Curvy film labels that work together in a machine application process to label complex, curved surfaces. Combines a wraparound look with the shelf appeal of p-s graphics. Creates 30% more space for primary labeling than current flat surfaces, and by reducing the need for two-ply label constructions, enables larger back panels to carry more information.
