Компания ACTEGA представит новые экологичные решения для печати на выставке LOPE в Чикаго

Wesel – ACTEGA, manufacturer of specialty coatings, inks, adhesives and sealing compounds for the print and packaging industry, has revealed that its LOUPE Americas (September 15-17, Chicago, USA) showcase will feature the company’s latest solutions designed to address converters’ increasing need for improved print performance, regulatory compliance and sustainability. ACTEGA’s label and packaging technologies, primers, coatings and inks will be on show on booth 519, including the new ACTSmartTM water-based Infusion Film Ink System, ACTDigi® LEP Primer, SafeShield UV-LED inks and ECOLEAF on-demand metallization technology. New Ways to Achieve Exceptional Results ACTEGA's new ACTSmartTM Infusion Film Ink System is a next generation water-based solution offering outstanding print performance and flexibility for shrink and surface print applications on both supported and un-supported films and plastics – and supports press speeds exceeding 700 ft/min. An advanced, reliable self-cross linking shrink ink system, this new solution eliminates the need for a catalyst typically used to gain adhesion, flexibility and the water resistance needed with shrink applications. As a result, ink management is simplified and press-side operations optimized, while delivering consistent, repeatable, quality results, at scale. After a standard 24-hour cure, converters can achieve full physical and chemical performance, even for the most demanding shrink applications, such as those requiring heat resistance above 300°F or resistance to water and soap. The ACTSmartTM Infusion Film Ink System is also designed to support standardized workflows and database-driven systems for improved efficiency and scalability. ACTDigi® LEP Primer will also be central to the ACTEGA showcase. Developed in partnership with HP for the HP Indigo 6K, 6K+ and 8K Digital Press series, this water-based primer enables superior print quality, improved ink adhesion, and supports advanced embellishments. It achieves outstanding results across a wide range of substrates, including coated/uncoated paper, synthetics, and metallized materials. The primer is also optimized for low consumption, makes regular cleaning simple, and is compliant with stringent regulations including Swiss Ordinance and Nestlé's stringent quality requirements. Meeting Regulations and Sustainability Goals ACTEGA's SafeShield UV-LED inks will be an unmissable feature of the booth. Designed for use in low migration applications, the SafeShield range exemplifies how ACTEGA's regulatory expertise is applied to meet the demands of more than 7 different industry regulations in one product line. Ideal for indirect food contact, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical packaging, these inks put consumer safety at the forefront and enable converters to confidently adhere to a very complex and rigorous regulatory process established for the labels and packaging industry. ACTEGA will also highlight ECOLEAF - a unique, on-demand metallization technology that enables stunning effects while significantly reducing carbon emissions. Setting the new standard for metallic label embellishment, packaging decorated with on-demand metallization is now hitting the supermarket shelves, proving that sustainable, digitally printed metallic decoration can meet the quality standards and volumes required by global brands. Delivering Print Quality, Regulatory Compliance and Productivity Without Compromise “Converters today are under pressure to strike an uncompromising and critical balance between productivity, regulatory compliance and print quality," said Mell C Bishop III, Global Market Manager Labels at ACTEGA in North America. "As such, we’re focused on helping our customers navigate these increasingly complex industry expectations while ensuring they achieve maximum productivity. Whether that's supporting the growth of digital production, improving press performance, simplifying regulatory compliance or enabling applications with exceptional functionality, sustainable benefits or outstanding shelf appeal. Our solutions are designed to help converters produce labels and packaging that overcome today's challenges while preparing for tomorrow's opportunities.” A diverse range of samples from ACTEGA’s advanced inks and coatings portfolio for pressure-sensitive labels, shrink sleeves, and in-mold labels will also be on display at the ACTEGA LOUPE booth. These eye-catching and functional applications are sure to catch visitors’ attention at the show.
