Actega launches new decorating solution

Actega, a manufacturer of specialty coatings, inks, adhesives and sealing compounds for the print and packaging industry, has launched Signite, a decorating solution designed to reduce, and one day eliminate, waste in label production.

Depending on the design, this technology can reduce label waste by reducing the decoration thickness to about a third of a typical clear pressure sensitive label and eliminating label media plastic in non-print areas.

“Brands are taking a leadership position on sustainable packaging solutions, with ambitious waste reduction goals and a drive to increase the efficiency and scale of container recyclability,” explains Anthony Carignano, technical director marketing – Signite, Actega. “At the same time, these companies are seeking ways to unlock new high-quality label aesthetics and tactile experiences for premium products. Signite offers these brands the best possible chance to meet all of these objectives.”

Signite promises to be a pioneering solution for numerous market sectors and aims in the future to support the high-volume production required by high-profile brands. Today, the solution is ideal for small volume contract decorators and specialty brand owners looking for a substantial differentiator that strengthens their competitive edge.
