Chicago, IL - Channeled Resources Group (CRG), an industry-leading manufacturer of release liners, thermal labels, and pressure-sensitive roll label stock, as well as one of the world’s largest suppliers of reprocessed, coated, treated, and laminated papers and films, will participate in PSTC Tape Week 2026, taking place May 4–7, 2026 at the Omni Louisville Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. In addition to exhibiting in the Exhibitor Showcase at Booth 208, CRG’s Chris Powell will present an educational session focused on release liner selection for tape applications.
Powell’s presentation, “Avoiding Costly Mistakes: A Clear Path to Smarter Release Liner Choices,” will help attendees better understand the variables that go into selecting the right liner for new and challenging applications. The session will examine the range of available liner options, from substrate types to release levels, and explain how factors such as thickness, stability, release force, and adhesive compatibility can affect tape performance.
Choosing the wrong release liner can lead to unnecessary cost, wasted time, and performance issues. Powell’s presentation is designed to give attendees a more practical framework for evaluating options and making informed decisions with greater confidence.
“Selecting the right release liner is one of those decisions that can look simple on the surface, but it has a huge impact on performance, efficiency, and cost,” said Ginnie Gandy, General Manager of CRG’s Release Liner Division. “Chris’s presentation is a great example of the kind of practical, application-focused knowledge our team brings to customers every day. We’re excited to share that insight at PSTC Tape Week and connect with attendees who are looking for better answers for their tape applications.”
As a third-generation, family-owned, women-led business, CRG continues to invest in responsive service, technical support, and tailored solutions for the markets it serves. Attendees visiting Booth 208 can learn more about CRG’s release liner offerings, including customized constructions designed around each customer’s specific processing, performance, and sustainability goals.
