Alongside its latest ink and coating developments for label and packaging printing, Siegwerk will also provide insights into its growing range of sustainable solutions designed to enhance the performance and recyclability of packaging in the sense of a Circular Economy. Visitors to the company’s booth will not only be able to get hands-on insights into some of the company’s latest ink and coating developments for boosting the efficiency and sustainability of packaging.
Siegwerk will exhibit from May 27-30, 2025, at Print4All in Milan. ‘In line with the show’s slogan ‘Endless Possibilities’, we will highlight the wide range of possibilities that our solutions offer for the design of sustainable and future-proof packaging,’ said Lorenzo Foschi, General Manager of Siegwerk Italy. ‘Whether it is about enabling the shift from multi to mono-material packaging to enhance the recyclability for example in flexible plastic packaging or equipping renewable materials like paper and board with functional properties needed to enable their use for a wider range of packaging applications, we always tailor our solutions to help packaging perform as desired: during processing, on the shelf, with the consumer, and during recycling,’ added Foschi.
Highlights at Print4All will for example include the company’s newly launched nitrocellulose (NC) free inks for flexible packaging applications. These new PU-based ink series offer a sustainable alternative to NC-based solutions, enabling the creation of NC-free flexible packaging that is not only fully recyclable but also offers comparable high packaging performance in lamination and surface applications. The company will give insights into its continuously growing range of functional coatings to further support the shift from multi to mono-material structures and broaden the use of renewable materials like paper. With its CIRKIT Water-Oil Barrier Coating, the company for example launched the first barrier solution with 100% natural content for the certified use on single-use paper plates. Other highlights at Siegwerk’s booth will also include its dual-curing UV solutions, designed to simplify the transition to LED-UV as a more sustainable alternative to UV curing, as well as its new generation of low-odour UV offset inks and varnishes for paper, board and various plastic substrates.
‘We are constantly striving to develop solutions that enable the realisation of future-proof packaging, meeting the upcoming regulatory changes, such as the PPWR,’ explained Foschi. ‘That’s why we attend selected industry events like Print4All, where we can meet with experts from the supply chain to share ideas, discuss progress and explore trends. Because only by working together, can we make a real difference towards circularity.’
This year, Print4All will also launch a new exhibition format: the ‘Corrugated Experience’. An area completely dedicated to the corrugated cardboard sector where visitors can discover all stages of the production cycle, from its creation to its transformation and printing. Next to other leading suppliers, Siegwerk will also contribute to this specialised hub showcasing selected ink and coating solutions for innovative paper and board applications. Here, functional coatings play a particularly important role in achieving the functionalities that are crucial for the performance and durability of paper and board packaging without compromising their natural recyclability. A challenge Jean-Michel Santarella, Technical Service Specialist CE Coatings at Siegwerk, will address in more detail in his presentation ‘Traditional and Printed Barrier Coatings for Corrugated Packaging.’
