Spear pioneered clear film pressure-sensitive labeling technology in the mid-1980s, initially targeting the personal care sector where clear labels enhanced HDPE bottles for hair care and bathroom products before expanding into the beverage market in the early 1990s as glass manufacturers recognized the decorative and marketing potential of the innovation.
