important medium of communication:
Package is the messenger of product
information, marketing messages, safety
information, and messages for logistics
needs.
• Digital printing gives an efficient tool to
boost package communication with on-
demand package production.
• Printing variable information on
packages
• On demand package printing and
packaging logistics
• Value added consumer packages
• Printed quality indicators (patented)
• Quantitative code-indicators (patent
applied)

Chemo-enzymatic functionalization of fibre materials
Principle of the method
• Activation of fibres and the new functionality by enzymatic or chemical means
• Chemo-enzymatic bonding of the new functionality
• Based on fast radical reactions
• Lignin-rich fibres as a target
• Targeted bonding of new functionality
• Retaining of fibre technical properties
Method can be exploited in
• Enhancing inherent fibre properties
• Creating completely new fibre properties
Functional properties added to fibres e.g.:
• Charge
• Hydrofobicity
• Conductivity
• Traceability
= Compound with desired properties
= Reactive site on the new functionality
= Reactive site on the fibre
