Sappi and Xeikon In Developmental Partnership
September 06, 2023
Sappi and Xeikon in developmental partnership The two firms are working towards direct printing on paper-based materials and ‘perfecting’ the recyclability of the resulting flexible packaging.
With Xeikon’s latest dry toner innovation, TITON and the Xeikon TX500, the company has set its sights on the paper-based flexible packaging market.
Sappi has been reporting for some time it is experiencing strong growth due to demand for resource-saving, recyclable and plastic-free alternatives from end-users as well as brand owners and converters.
Frank Jacobs, market intel & senior product manager at Flint Group Digital, said he understood the demands made on inks for direct printing on paper-based materials for applications in the flexible packaging sector, e.g. for food packaging, such as those offered by Sappi, are very high: “Over and above ensuring a good print result, the inks need to be extremely resistant throughout the packaging process and insensitive to temperature, e.g. for heat-sealing.
And, especially for applications in the food sector, they also need to be odourless, tasteless, food-safe and migration-proof.”
