ACTEGA has developed a new technology that significantly reduces the amount of waste that is created during the labelling process of bottles and glass containers. The technology is known as SIGNITE and was developed and brought to the market by a dedicated team of chemists and engineers. Utilizing the latest in UV-curable chemistry, Signite decorations are created entirely on press, eliminating the need for the costly laminated constructions used in traditional pressure-sensitive label production. Additionally, Signite decorations are built in registration with the graphics and labeling content, resulting in zero waste-matrix to dispose of, along with a premium look and feel comparable to direct-to-container screen printing. The technology is currently employed by beer and beverage producers to create premium visuals on their products and decrease the carbon footprint of the overall product. We are currently finalizing an LCA on the technology to calculate the environmental benefits. Initial results of the analysis are expected in December 2023.
