Actega offers a range of coatings that are designed to offer numerous functional benefits

Actega, a manufacturer of specialty coatings, inks, adhesives, sealants and compounds for the print and packaging industry, will showcase its latest innovations during Labelexpo Europe 2023 in Brussels, Belgium, from 11 to 14 September. On display will be a range of Actega’s innovative products designed to enable the production of high-quality labels and packaging with greater visual impact. The extensive range of products showcased includes Actega’s haptic effect coating series, LED-UV coatings, white and metallic inks, as well as its Ecoleaf metallization technology.

One of the key highlights of Actega’s stand (6C32) will be the live demonstrations of Ecoleaf, the sustainable alternative to traditional metallic decoration. The unique technology enables printers and converters to significantly reduce the environmental impact of metallic decoration on labels and packaging whilst maintaining the aesthetics and quality standards required by brands. With a working press and metallization unit running throughout the show, visitors will be able to see this technology firsthand, with a range of printed samples also on display.

Actega will also showcase its specialty inks and coatings for labels and flexible packaging that have been developed with advanced functionality and stand-out shelf appeal in mind. Actega’s range of haptic and visual effect coatings offers brands a way to differentiate their products with a variety of high-value effects designed to capture consumer attention. The effects made possible include soft touch, matte and raised image. Actega’s LED-UV coatings utilize the company’s renowned expertise in coating development to provide numerous functional benefits and energy savings.

Labelexpo visitors will also have a chance to explore Actega’s white and metallic inks which are ideal for enhancing label designs and adding a dramatic metallic shine. Opting for metallic inks instead of a traditional foil finishing process is yet another way converters can also improve the recyclability of packaging, as well as reduce waste associated with applying foil.

Ecoleaf Metallization

Completely eliminating the need for foil, Ecoleaf is centered on a process of applying and curing precise quantities of metal pigment to create stand-out embellishments for labels whilst facilitating critical reductions in costs, materials, and production times. With the business’s initial calculations finding a carbon footprint reduction of more than 50% compared to cold and hot foil, Actega expects this technology to be a highly popular attraction at the coming show.

“Numerous forward-thinking companies across Europe are already taking advantage of the many benefits Ecoleaf provides to their digital, screen or flexo production facilities. This technology has the potential to transform the industry completely and we’d like to invite all Labelexpo Europe visitors to see this innovation for themselves,” explains Timo Kondziela, head of global marketing at Actega.
