Actega, manufacturer of specialty coatings, inks, adhesives, sealants and compounds for the print and packaging industry, will showcase its latest solutions, partner and customer collaborations and advanced labelling technologies at Labelexpo Europe 2025 (Stand 3D41). Combining quality, functionality, and sustainability, these innovations demonstrate how Actega helps brands achieve their environmental and performance goals.
Visitors can see live demonstrations of Ecoleaf, Actega’s on-demand metallization technology, configured with a Gallus One Digital Press. Actega and Gallus’ partnership combines Ecoleaf technology and the Gallus One platform to offer creative, flexible and sustainable digital label production.
Considered the ‘new standard’ in sustainable, metallic label embellishment, Ecoleaf helps converters and brand owners reduce their carbon footprint while delivering eye-catching labels. Marco Van Hooff, CCO, Reynders label printing, says, “1kg of Ecoleaf flakes replaces 3,000 kg of foil… It’s not just the CO2 and waste reduction, such as eliminating the PET carrier film, that makes S-Sential compelling. It’s also the quick turnarounds achievable and the creative possibilities to use shiny metallization to differentiate your products.”
Samples from several industry leaders utilizing Ecoleaf technology will be showcased on the Actega stand, including Reynders and All4Labels. Paola Iannone, VP marketing and communications at All4Labels, said, “Our Starshinetm product range leverages on-demand metallization to deliver stunning metallic effects for self-adhesive labels… Our sites in Italy, Germany, and the UK are already equipped with this cutting-edge technology, and plans are underway to install it in Romania and France this year.”
Actega’s partnership with All4Labels extends to Signite, a unique decoration technology for glass, PET and aluminum containers, debuting at Labelexpo Europe under the Stardirecttm brand. This solution delivers approximately 30% lower Global Warming Potential and allows customers to produce over 40% more Signite labels per roll.
Actega will also showcase its coatings portfolio for pressure-sensitive labels, shrink sleeves and in-mold labels, including gloss, matte, motion effects, and UV and LED coatings. Live applications will be featured at the Gallus stand.
