Finalist De Gouden Noot 2024 Ecoleaf

Ecoleaf by ACTEGA

It is well known that the industry standard technology for metallic embellishments, hot and cold foiling, is anything but environmentally friendly. Each year, thousands of tons of foil waste are sent to landfill or burned in incineration plants.

With ECOLEAF, ACTEGA has reinvented the metallization process by using on-demand metallization. By placing metal plates exactly where they are needed, ECOLEAF eliminates the need for PET carrier film and therefore film reels. This significantly reduces waste and plastic consumption and minimizes the environmental impact associated with the production and disposal of these materials. ECOLEAF enables the production of eye-catching metallic label embellishments with a significantly improved environmental profile.

ECOLEAF is very flexible to use. The technology is simple to set up and can be easily integrated into a range of existing printing methods (flexo, screen printing, inkjet) making it very convenient for print service providers. Artworks can be changed quickly, which is practical for limited editions. Also, it is possible to carry out late-stage differentiation or personalization.

Summarizing: ECOLEAF enables the production of eye-catching metallic label embellishments with a significantly improved environmental profile.
