ECKART as a guest in Sappi's "Blue Couch" video series
Sappi's Blue Couch series covers topics from the packaging industry in interviews. ECKART was invited as a specialist on the topic of "High-quality print finishing versus environmental sustainability".
Metallic finishes and silky pearlescent effects are indispensable for marketing many products and are used especially in packaging design.
Film- and thus plastic-free solutions as well as recyclability, de-inking and compostability play a major role. How can packaging be effectively staged using metallic inks and pearlescent pigments - while taking costs and environmental aspects into account?
Christoph Sontheimer, Global Head of Business Development, ECKART, and Lars Scheidweiler, Head of Packaging Solutions at Sappi Europe, present solutions in this video interview.

” „Printed effects are the most efficient way to balance looks, costs and sustainability, especially compared to other methods of finishing.” |
Christoph Sontheimer |
This "Blue Couch" interview was realized as part of the "METALL INK" project. Sustainability, cost efficiency and high finishing quality are to be optimally harmonized. This can best be achieved with metallic printing inks and pearlescent effects, as demonstrated by a number of reference projects.
METALL INK is a cooperation between the effect pigment and printing ink manufacturer ECKART, the packaging and paper specialist SAPPI and the printing and finishing company GT/Trendhouse 42.
