The company also had live demonstrations of Ecoleaf, the sustainable alternative to traditional metallic decoration. This unique technology enables printers and converters to significantly reduce the environmental impact of metallic decoration on labels and packaging whilst maintaining the aesthetics and quality standards required by brands. 

With a working press and metallisation unit running throughout the show, visitors will be able to see this revolutionary technology firsthand, with a range of printed samples also on display, highlighting the versatility of the finished embellishments.
