The highlight applications on display include inspiring labels and narrow web pouches showcasing ACTEGA’s LED-UV and water-based flexo inks and coatings. Samples of haptic and visual effect coatings for shrink sleeves have also been designed to capture visitors’ attention. These coatings are applied on the outside of the shrink sleeve to give extra impact on the shelf, and the variety of high-value effects achievable include soft touch, matte and raised image. Special LED-UV coatings for the internal part of the sleeves are on display, too, and experts from the ACTEGA team are on-hand to explain the numerous functional benefits of applying these coatings.

The latest information, samples and news about ACTEGA’s solutions for sustainable label decoration including Signite and ECOLEAF are available at the ACTEGA booth.
