Colors are passion, emotions and personality. At Siegwerk, inks and coatings are our specialty and we use color to bring the packaging and products of our customers to life.
The future of packaging is circular, safe and high-performing. With innovative inks and coatings, deep packaging expertise and tailored support, Siegwerk helps brand owners and converters develop packaging solutions designed for circularity without compromising functionality, safety or performance.
Packaging is undergoing fundamental change. New regulatory requirements, evolving design-for-recycling guidelines and growing demand for circular solutions are transforming the way packaging is designed and produced.
At Siegwerk, we look beyond inks and coatings and consider the entire packaging structure. By combining our expertise in inks, coatings, packaging, product safety and circularity, we help customers identify solutions that support recyclability, material efficiency and performance.
From fiber-based packaging and mono-material structures to functional coatings and advanced ink technologies, we work closely with customers and partners to turn packaging challenges into practical solutions.
Circularity is an integral part of Siegwerk’s sustainability strategy. With HorizonNOW 2030, we are strengthening our focus on sustainable products, responsible sourcing and sustainable operations.
For our products, this means continuously advancing inks and coatings that support circular packaging solutions while maintaining the safety, functionality and performance our customers need.
Circular packaging requires inks and coatings that do more than deliver color and visual impact. They can play an important role in enabling recyclable structures, reducing material complexity and delivering the functionality packaging needs.
Our portfolio includes advanced ink technologies as well as CIRKIT solutions designed to support circular packaging approaches. From barrier coatings and barrier inks to heat-seal lacquers and solutions for mono-material and fiber-based packaging, we help customers combine circularity with the required packaging performance.
This is complemented by ink solutions designed to support recycling and the transition toward more circular packaging structures.
Consumers are attracted to elevated packaging in terms of not only appearance. Packaging that responds to external influence (such as color changing ink) or possessing tactile features provided by special coatings, can really set a brand apart. Siegwerk helps brand owners to meet these expectations by providing expertise on intelligently combining the material, inks and coatings of a packaging structure to create packaging that leaves a lasting positive impression.
Circular packaging requires collaboration across the value chain.
Developing packaging for a circular economy requires expertise from different parts of the packaging value chain. Siegwerk works with brand owners, converters, packaging manufacturers, technology providers, recyclers, and industry organizations to develop and evaluate packaging solutions for specific applications.
By combining expertise in packaging materials, inks, coatings, packaging design, and recycling processes, these collaborations help us assess how different components interact and identify opportunities to improve packaging structures.
Together with our partners, we work on solutions designed to support recyclability while meeting defined requirements for functionality, product safety, and performance.
Whether its switching from plastic to paper, multi to mono-materials or increasing recyclability, we have the expertise to create a tailor-made solution to meet your needs.
