ACTEGA, manufacturer of specialty coatings, inks, adhesives and sealing compounds for the print and packaging industry, launches Signite™—a revolutionary, ACTEGA patented, premium decorating solution, designed to significantly reduce waste in label production. Depending on the decoration design, the technology can reduce label waste by over 50% compared to a similar footprint pressure sensitive label by elimination the label matrix, reducing the decoration thickness to about a third of that of a typical clear pressure sensitive label and eliminating label media plastic in non-print areas.
Signite decorations contain less material mass than alternative decor and is more accommodating to current recycling processes. The new decorations represent an alternative to “no-label look” labels, bringing the look and feel of direct-to-container screen or digital printing with the efficiency of pressure sensitive labeling.
