The Label Academy’s curriculum has added the ‘Label embellishments and special applications’ to its list of available courses.
Now offering seven training modules, the online learning program covers subjects ranging from conventional label printing to design and origination and environmental performance for dedicated label and package printing industry training.
The label embellishments and special applications module provides detail on more traditional methods of label enhancement using foiling, embossing and novel printing techniques.
It will give equal weight to the new technologies and innovations which are allowing packaging to engage a wider range of human senses.
The academy has also introduced two further study books entitled Brand Protection, Security Labeling and Packaging: Technologies and strategies for optimum product protection and Die-cutting and Tooling: A guide to the manufacture and use of cutting, embossing and foiling dies, anvils and cylinders.
They are aimed at anyone involved in producing or using labels or packaging of all kinds.
Once a student has finished an individual self-study topic, they can take an online exam to earn the relevant formal certificate.
Students can enroll in the Academy and find course details alongside related and complimentary articles and videos online, while each online examination costs US$250.
Text books can also be purchased via the Academy or direct from Amazon.com.
