Siegwerk Introduces Acrylic-Free Ink for Paper and Board Applications

Siegwerk has launched a new acrylic-free ink solution designed for paper and board packaging applications, expanding its portfolio of sustainable printing technologies.

The product, branded as UniLEAF, is developed to address increasing regulatory and environmental requirements while maintaining performance standards in packaging printing. The company said the formulation eliminates acrylic components, which are commonly used in conventional inks, offering an alternative aligned with evolving sustainability goals.

The launch is part of Siegwerk’s broader strategy to provide sustainable ink solutions for packaging converters and brand owners. The company continues to invest in research and development to meet shifting market demands, particularly in response to tightening regulations and increased focus on circular economy principles.
