Print Solutions Packaging Solutions


Actega has announced a new partnership with Fujifilm Integrated Inkjet Solutions, enabling the latest technical advance to be made to ‘On-demand metallisation’ Ecoleaf solution.

 

All Ecoleaf units can now be equipped with a Fujifilm 46kUV inkjet printbar to print a higher resolution trigger image consistently and reliably. The Ecoleaf on-demand metallisation process is renowned for its benefits over traditional foiling methods when it comes to embellishing intricate image details or even small text elements on a label. The 46kUV printbar further increases this accuracy from 600 dpi to 1200 dpi whilst also ensuring the process can be fully digital, therefore, strengthening the flexible, on-demand, short notice production benefits that customers opting for a fully digital process can take advantage of.

 

The collaboration also further strengthens Actega’s global customer support network. With its innovative approach to sustainable solutions and Fujifilm’s trusted reputation for robust, cutting edge technology, businesses can have even more confidence in their decision to switch to Ecoleaf metallisation to support their customers’ ESG targets.

 

By moving from traditional foiling techniques, printers and converters eliminate the need for PET carrier film and foil reels. This significantly reduces waste and plastic consumption and cuts CO2 emissions with a cost effective, eco friendly solution.

 


Greg Balch, senior vice president and chief operating officer of Fujifilm Integrated Inkjet Solutions, explained: ‘Our collaboration with Actega adds yet another dimension of quality and productivity to this already innovative, industrial scale technology. We have every confidence that Ecoleaf has the potential to transform the way the label industry views metallisation.

 

‘Ecoleaf’s ability to avoid wasted foil is fantastic news for brands looking to meet strict and necessary environmental targets and also don’t want to lose their competitive edge.’

 

Harald Jasper, managing director, Actega, continued: ‘There is a huge appetite for change among brands and suppliers when it comes to reducing environmental impact. Switching to Ecoleaf is one way that the industry can make the progress needed, and we are so pleased to have leaders like Fujifilm embrace the technology and the opportunity it presents for more sustainable metallic embellishments.’
