What WESSCO® UV coatings stand for

The demands placed on packaging depend on who is using it, when, and for what purpose. Therefore, the needs of the brand owner and the packaging manufacturer differ from those of the consumer. On the one hand, these are economy, processing method, production speed, impact, and food compliance. On the other hand, we are talking about functionality, environmental friendliness, and tactile and visual aesthetics.

WESSCO® UV coatings optimally combine all requirements.
