Flexible packaging
The art of flexibility
A quick glance into a supermarket is enough to see that flexible packaging is on the rise – in a wide variety of forms, with a wide variety of demands on inks and varnishes. Whether you are a brand owner who wants sustainable, safe products standing out at the point of sale or a printer who wants to deliver high-quality print products – as experts for flexible packaging, we realise all your requirements for packaging design and production.
We offer environmentally friendly, state-of-the-art inks and varnishes from solvent to water and UV. All of these products are manufactured in specialized plants in Italy and India, with a majority of the raw materials coming from our own Chemicals Division. We can therefore guarantee the highest safety standards and a reliable supply chain even in difficult situations. And the best thing is: we don't leave you alone once we delivered our products but stand by your side to optimize the processes in your press room.
Gecko Xperience products are characterised by their wide range of novel haptic effects. They are opening up a new dimension of creative packaging design.
Gecko Xperience
Application
Our innovative Gecko Xperience series for gravure and flexographic printing gives packaging a unique appearance and touch. These solvent-based haptic varnishes can make your products feel like paper, rubber, leather, sand, textiles, or wood – whatever suits your product. They are applicable for a wide range of flexible packaging products.
Your Benefits
The perception of packaging is becoming more and more important because even the tiniest aspects decide at the point of sale whether a product is purchased or not. In the past, mainly visual effects created the so-called shelf appeal. To make your products stand out from the crowd, you can now give them a special touch with our haptic varnishes!
Special Properties
For us, the first goal was to create something outstanding – impressive effects that really make a difference. For this reason, we carefully selected raw materials and conducted various test panels to exclude subjective associations. In order to precisely understand the influences of print and process parameters, we have carried out a large number of test series with modified parameters. With this knowledge, we are now able to offer a wide array of different effects and will be happy to advise you on how to achieve the effect you desire.
