Even more performance ...
is what the producer of Sheba cat food wanted. Because in addition to a heat seal resistance of 350 °C, the packaging had to be much easier to produce, too. For around 30 years, the packaging had been printed with two-component inks in anything up to four passes. Now, working closely with the printers to Mars GmbH, the Siegwerk experts came up with a solution that combines a 2K base coating with a 1K color chromatic construction. The new method meets the high-quality standards, reduces ink wastage and cuts production times considerably – a perfect solution all around.

Promoting high absorbency of a product ...
on a non-absorbent substrate – that was the challenge involved in producing this packaging film.
To make sure the hygiene products would convey their message in an eye-catching way, the Siegwerk experts worked in close consultation with the Charmin print team to find a solution that would let them print a high-opacity white, then follow it up with outstanding halftones and color blocks. Since these ink series ensure reliable processing even at high print speeds, they are now being used for numerous similar applications, too – not just the ones with the dancing Charmin bear.

Simply better ...
is how Shadu wanted the next generation of cat food pouches to be. For the packaging that meant stronger color, better halftone printability, and outstanding lamination and bonding characteristics.
The Siegwerk experts supported the Shadu printers throughout the entire process. Building on a proven ink series, Siegwerk developed a solution that was then fine-tuned under real-life printing conditions. The resulting PV 87 ink series is a real print technology delicacy. In addition to the superior quality, the excellent processing characteristics of PV 87 also mean less downtime and less cleaning effort.
