Premium Style - No Label – Revolution

Signite represents a revolution in the world of product decoration, offering an innovative application system that enables customers to achieve superior results in terms of aesthetics, efficiency, and sustainability. Through an exclusive layered printing process, Signite decorations generate significantly less waste compared to traditional self-adhesive labeling systems, thereby reducing the environmental impact associated with production.

Unlike direct screen printing on containers, Signite technology offers greater design flexibility, allowing brands to customize their products with high-quality finishes, unlimited colors, and refined textures, while maintaining excellent resistance and durability.

This translates into a premium aesthetic, enhancing the product and improving the consumer experience. Furthermore, adopting the Signite system actively contributes to improving container recyclability, thanks to the absence of traditional printing substrates and the ease of decoration removal, promoting circular economy practices and reducing disposal costs.

Thanks to Makro Labelling's technical expertise, it is now possible to apply Signite technology at speeds up to four times higher than the project's initial performance. This outstanding productivity improvement is matched by extremely high application precision, ensuring flawless results even on high-speed production lines.

Makro’s integration of expertise has made Signite not only a sustainable and cutting-edge aesthetic solution but also a cost-effective choice for manufacturers looking to optimize operations without compromising on quality.

Operation

How It Works
The process unfolds through four main phases, each designed to ensure high performance and premium aesthetics:

Phase 1: Liquid Label Layer
The process begins with the application of a transparent liquid layer, precisely printed in register. This coating acts as the actual “substrate” of the label, replacing conventional materials.

Phase 2: Ink Layer
Next, the ink layer is printed in reverse, protecting the graphics while achieving high visual quality and maintaining design integrity.

Phase 3: Adhesive Layer
Then, an adhesive layer is applied, perfectly aligned with the liquid coating and ink layers, ensuring effective adhesion to the container without excess material or waste.

Phase 4: Winding
Finally, the decorated material is rewound, ready to be applied onto bottles or containers using specially designed labeling equipment.

Benefits

External Validation of Benefits

Adopting the Signite system enables an average reduction of around 30% in environmental impact (measured in terms of GWP 100, kg CO₂ equivalent) compared to traditional solutions such as pressure-sensitive labels (PSL) or similarly sized shrink sleeves.

This demonstrates how Signite represents a strategic choice for companies aiming to improve their environmental footprint.

Through the use of innovative materials and optimized production processes, the system significantly contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting a more sustainable supply chain aligned with decarbonization goals.

Choosing Signite means not only enhancing the environmental performance of your products but also strengthening your commitment to a circular economy and to more responsible, future-oriented production models.
