ACTEGA’s range of haptic and visual effect coatings offers brands a way to differentiate their products with a variety of high-value effects designed to capture consumer attention.
The effects made possible include soft touch, matte and raised image. ACTEGA’s LED-UV coatings utilize the company’s renowned expertise in coating development to provide numerous functional benefits and energy savings.
Labelexpo visitors will also have a chance to explore ACTEGA’s white and metallic inks which are ideal for enhancing label designs and adding a dramatic metallic shine.

One of the key highlights of ACTEGA's booth (Stand 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.
ECOLEAF is centered 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 a working press and metallization unit running throughout the show, visitors will be able to see the revolutionary technology firsthand, with a range of printed samples also on display, highlighting the versatility of the finished embellishments.
