Apex underlines commitment to sustainability with EcoProven


AUTOMATE YOUR DEFECT MARKING AND TRACKING


Finding and removing defects downstream is safe and easy with the Novation AF3 WebFlagger. With the push of a button, the AF3 accurately marks webs moving at speeds up to 1,200 mpm (4,000 fpm).


Apex International (Apex) will underline its commitment to sustainability at this month’s drupa 2024, when the global leader in anilox, metering and embossing solutions showcases the data-backed credentials of its innovative GTT engraving technology under the EcoProven banner. Supported by years of data and customer testimonials, the company will use


the world’s largest print and packaging exhibition to demonstrate how the system is a critical part of sustainable practices across the off set, fl exo wide web, and corrugated print sectors. Joris Cabri, Apex VP of Sales for Europe & Africa, said: “In an era where companies


use buzzwords to pay lip service to their sustainability agenda, Apex stands out by substantiating its claims with solid evidence. We are excited to shine a spotlight on our well-established GTT engraving and to demonstrate the technology’s positive contributions to the printing industry at this year’s drupa.” From Booth A10 in Hall 10 of the Messe Düsseldorf, the Apex team will


showcase how GTT engraving contributes to environmental sustainability and cost effi ciency. “We will spotlight to drupa visitors our EcoProven initiative and signifi cant breakthroughs in sustainable printing, living up to our ethos that ‘Only our quality should touch the Earth’,” added Joris. “We will demonstrate how are developing innovations that meet today’s sustainability challenges, and our commitment to cleaner, more responsible printing solutions is clearer than ever.”


Better laydown, reduced ink usage, enhanced opacity With its innovative open slalom cell geometry, GTT from Apex has transformed ink application in printing by allowing for better ink laydown, signifi cantly reducing ink usage while enhancing opacity and shine. Enhanced ink effi ciency provides richer colours with less waste; for example,

in white opacity applications, users can achieve superior laydown with one-hit white, using technology that benefi ts both the environment and their budgets. Similarly, in off set applications, GTT allows for more shine with less lacquer,


enhancing cost-effi ciency and reducing environmental impact. “The technology is a cornerstone of our EcoProven initiative, where real-world applications from our global customer base substantiate every claim,” added Joris. “One notable success story involves a major customer who reduced their ink consumption by more than 12% after adopting our patented engraving, without any sacrifi ce or compromise in terms of print quality.”
