ECOLEAF – A Shining Example of Sustainable Production
One of the highlights of ACTEGA’s booth (6C32) at Labelexpo Europe 2023 will be the live demonstrations of ECOLEAF, the sustainable alternative to traditional metallic decoration. This 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 revolutionary technology firsthand, with a range of printed samples also on display, highlighting the versatility of the finished embellishments.
Completely eliminating the need for foil, ECOLEAF is centred 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 percent compared to cold and hot foil, ACTEGA expects this revolutionary technology to be a highly popular attraction at Labelexpo.
“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.
