Paper Industry Fact: Among Plastic, Glass, and Paper, Paper is generally the most recyclable material. Paper can be recycled multiple times without a significant loss in quality, and the recycling process for paper is often more straight forward and cost-effective compared to plastic and glass. Choose your packaging options wisely. #IndianPrintingIndustry #PaperPrinting #PrintedInIndia #PrintMedia #PrintingPress #GraphicDesignIndia #PaperCrafting #SustainablePrinting #InkOnPaper #PrintedMaterials #PrintingTechnology

𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐓 Printed metallic effects should impact packaging and consumer goods and enhance their visual appearance. However, the lifecycle of these products does not end on the store shelves. This is why the word "impact" implies a responsibility for ECKART that goes beyond the visual appearance. 🛍️ Pre-Consumption: maximal impact on the visual appearance ⬆️ ♻️ Post-Consumption: minimal impact on the environment ⬇️ The goal is clear: a more sustainable approach to packaging and consumer goods through a closed-loop economy. Progress has been made in recycling paper and cardboard, recovering fibers for new high-quality papers and reducing the use of virgin fibers. This circular approach conserves resources and minimizes waste. Effect pigments and printing inks have to keep up with this development. They need to be de-inkable, compostable, sortable and contain as much bio-based raw materials as possible.

🎨💚 Why Choose Soy-Based Inks? Did you know that soy-based inks are easier to recycle than petroleum-based inks? This means your printed materials are more likely to be recycled, contributing to a circular economy. Make the switch to soy-based inks and enjoy not just environmental benefits but also superior print quality. #SustainablePrinting #SoyBasedInks

Specification & Recycling Material Standard Gloss Paper White wood free machine coated mid-gloss paper FSC certified. Backing Release Paper Yellow transparent glassine paper Adhesive Permanent water-borne acrylic Printing Solvent free environmentally friendly toner with a high level of de-inkability and guaranteed to be recyclable. Full CMYK printing including white ink Supplied On: Rolls Suitable for labelling machines Finish Options Uncoated (writable), gloss varnish, gloss laminate, matte laminate Temperature Application +5c Working -20c to +80c Recycling Label, Finish & Adhesive As the label is made of paper it is suitable for normal recycling when uncoated, with gloss varnish or laminate finishes (which are Polypropylene based). The adhesive is removed in the recycling process. Backing Release Paper This can be recycled by using a specialist process which “washes off” the silicone or other release agent allowing the pulp to be recycled. Only specialized recyclers can do this, and you would need to check with your recycling authority. Zero Label Waste to Landfill, so all our label waste is recycled in this way.

Part 6 of Why we hope you stick with us! And this one’s about our footprint we leave doing what we do. Over 3 years ago we started using tees and hoodies that are not only organic but just as importantly are made in a factory where people are treated fair. Now we aren’t a huge company. We can’t send a representative to audit them! Just have to take it at face value. We also print as much as we can ourselves and that’s done manually using ink that’s environmentally responsible. Holding stock is a bit of a difficult one. Screen printing is at its best when you print in reasonable sized quantities. Set up and clean up is the same - same amount of water to clean a screen after 10 tees as 30 tees! But there’s this idea that ordering too many and having them sit is perhaps unnecessarily forcing companies to make these garments - however ethically it’s done. My take is that the more blank tees and decks I can afford to stock for current and future use means less deliveries to me and that’s a good thing! I try to recycle and reuse, repurpose as much as possible. We keep our packaging very basic - resisting the temptation to garnish it with nice things! A recyclable bag is good enough for us. I hear the phrase “greenwashing” quite often but I think that generally only applies to corporations who’s impact on the world is huge whilst they use green credentials to try to make a sale. We’ll continue to make any adjustments we can and hope that you know none of this is a gimmick to us. Tomorrow we’ll post the last part of this series! Tune in to read about it!

5 on Fridays - today with Igor Levin, Managing Director of the Swiss Paper Trading Group. Todays topic: The high potential of micro-flutes. ❓ Igor, we hear more and more about micro-flutes in context of modern packaging solutions. What’s the clue? 💡 Micro-Flutes is a general term for especially lightweight corrugated board solutions. You can find so-called e-flutes, f-flutes or even n-flutes. Flutes are the wavy, parallel ridges that provide strength and rigidity to the board.   ❓Where is the special advantage of micro-flutes? 🔝 Micro-flutes are thinner and have higher flute density compared to other flutes. They are commonly used for packaging applications where a balance of strength and compactness is required. Because they offer a smoother surface and enhanced printability, they are the perfect material for vibrant and eye-catching designs.   ❓Finer and lighter waves - does this also mean advantages regarding the weight? 🚛 Yes. Micro-Flutes offer a huge range of logistical advantages due to their compact and lightweight nature: reduced shipping costs, increased storage efficiency, easier handling and even an optimized supply chain management.   ❓Are micro-flutes suitable for replacing or enhancing existing solutions? 🌱 Definitely! In more and more packaging projects, it is possible to replace virgin fiber paper with recycled solutions. And: Micro-flutes have a huge potential to replace conventional plastic packaging. Both are important steps on the way to the European Green Deal.   ❓ Has the end of technological progress already been reached or can we look forward to further innovations? 🚀 The micro-flutes have by no means played out all their advantages yet. We will see a lot more progress, for example in the area of direct offset printing. A little spoiler: ELGRAF and PTG will have some very exciting news on this in the coming weeks. #5onfridays #microflutes #smartpackaging #elgraf #ptg Please let us briefly introduce "5 on Fridays": At irregular intervals, we present exciting topics and people to you. 5 crisp questions and 5 inspiring and informative answers. Simply 5 on Fridays 😉
