All that glitters needs to be green.
EcoShine is our proprietary PET-free transfer technology — developed by VK Global Digital to make metallised, holographic, and Fresnel lens packaging 100% recyclable without sacrificing a single point of visual impact.

A proprietary technology developed in-house — not licensed or white-label. We own the process, the mastering, and the production.
RECYCLABILITY CERTIFIED BY
Clover Sustainability Services, Germany
Independent verification against EN 13430 — the EU standard for packaging recyclability. Certified, not self-declared.
Three film types. One recyclable solution.
EcoShine replaces the three most widely used metallised film types in packaging — making recyclable the default rather than the exception.
Silver Metallised film
The most widely used packaging film globally — plain silver metallic finish. EcoShine replaces conventional PET-laminated silver film with a fully recyclable transfer equivalent. Same mirror finish, zero PET residue.
Widest market application
Holographic film
Rainbow diffraction patterns, custom holographic designs, and security microstructures — all available in EcoShine format. The holographic effect transfers completely; the PET carrier is removed and reused.
Full holographic pattern range available
Fresnel lens film
3D depth and optical movement effects engineered for premium packaging — now available without a permanent PET layer. The lens microstructure bonds to the substrate; the carrier comes away clean.
Premium optical effects, fully recyclable
The science of leaving nothing behind
Conventional metallised and holographic packaging bonds a PET film permanently to the substrate — making the finished pack unrecyclable. EcoShine reverses this entirely.
Premium effects. No environmental liability.
EcoShine is not a reduced-quality sustainable option. It delivers equivalent visual performance to conventional metallised packaging — with full recyclability built in.
No design restrictions
Every silver, holographic, and Fresnel lens effect in our catalogue is available in EcoShine format. No pattern limitations, no finish compromises, no design changes required from your team.
Full film range available
No workflow changes
EcoShine integrates directly into your existing printing and packaging line — sheet-fed or reel-fed. No new machinery, no process revalidation, no change to your die-lines or registration setup.
Sheet-fed & reel-fed compatible
Retail and regulatory compliance
EN 13430 certification means your packaging meets the EU packaging recyclability standard — increasingly mandated by major retailers and required under brand ESG commitments globally.

Shelf impact unchanged
The metallic brilliance, holographic colour depth, and optical movement of EcoShine films matches conventional packaging. Sustainability doesn't mean stepping back from shelf presence.

Sustainability across our operations
EcoShine is our most visible sustainability innovation — but our commitment to responsible manufacturing extends across the entire facility.
Environmental management
ISO 14001:2015 certified — a formal commitment to measuring, managing, and continuously improving our environmental performance across all manufacturing operations.
Responsible sourcing
FSC certification covers our paper and board sourcing — ensuring substrates we print and convert come from responsibly managed forests and verified supply chains.
Recyclable packaging by design
Beyond EcoShine, we work with brand owners to reduce laminated and multi-material constructions — designing mono-cartons and rigid boxes to be recyclable through standard streams wherever possible.
Worker safety & wellbeing
ISO 45001:2018 certified occupational health and safety across our 1,000+ person workforce — formalising our commitment to safe working conditions at every level of production.
Reducing our footprint
A 1MW rooftop solar installation generates a significant portion of our facility power from clean renewable energy — actively reducing fossil fuel dependence across daily manufacturing operations. We are continuing to measure and reduce emissions across both facilities.
Continuous innovation
EcoShine is the first of what we intend to be a broader programme of proprietary sustainable packaging technologies — developed in-house and validated by independent certification bodies.
