Materials, High Quality Finishes, UV & LED UV and Environment

This year, PrintCity Alliance members are returning to FachPack with a wide range of offerings on a joint stand.

A presentation will feature the latest developments on sustainable premium packaging.

The PrintCity Alliance is supported by a powerful team of superheroes, the Print Guardians:

In addition to the environmental aspects, the topic of energy and thus cost reduction is becoming increasingly important.
LED-UV technology can make a significant contribution to this.

The second series of samples from Better Human will be used to demonstrate how the environment, energy and costs can be reconciled with high-quality finishes.

Join us in Hall 7A Booth 228/329/136 for the presentation in the new InnovationBox!

       Wednesday, September 28, 12:30 - 13:00, InnovationBox (Hall 5 Booth 5-286).
