In the fiercely competitive era of the printing and packaging industry, a successful product relies not only on the sharpness of the ink but also on the quality of the surface finish. The post-printing coating technology plays a crucial role in determining the aesthetic appeal, mechanical durability, and especially the safety of the finished packaging. However, finding a supplier that possesses both deep technical expertise and a range of internationally compliant coating products is a challenging task for many printing companies in Vietnam.
Founded in 1806 in Germany, the Melchers Group has been a steadfast support for businesses for over two centuries of global development. In the domestic market, Melchers Vietnam proudly offers comprehensive packaging coating solutions, acting as the exclusive distributor of Melco coatings, thereby elevating the technical standards for both commercial printers and professional packaging printers.
1. Melchers Vietnam – A Multinational Group & Professional Printing Material Ecosystem
Many customers and partners often ask: “Who is Melchers? And what services does Melchers provide?” With a rich history rooted in Europe, Melchers is not just a trading entity; it is an integrated technical solution provider. The Printing and Packaging sector of Melchers Vietnam positions and imports the highest quality materials, supporting printing factories from technical consultation, optimizing printing machine operations, to ensuring output quality control.
We recognize that the lack of information regarding high-quality auxiliary materials causes many printing companies to lose their competitive edge when bidding for large export orders. Therefore, Melchers’ provision of coating solutions is the answer to the challenge of upgrading the uniform quality of the Vietnamese printing market.
2. Melco Water-Based Coating Product Range: The Balance Between Performance and Cost
The premium water-based coating distributed by Melchers boasts exceptional technical characteristics, perfectly catering to both inline (directly on the printer) and offline (on a separate coating machine) application methods:
- Production optimization: It dries extremely quickly at high speeds, offering excellent adhesion on various substrates and different types of inks.
- Diverse visual effects: It fully meets all demands ranging from high gloss, ultra-matte, neutral to smooth silk effects.
- Segment-specific design: For commercial printers, the product provides an optimal balance between surface effect and reasonable cost. For packaging printers, the coating is finely tuned to ensure uniform gloss, stable slip, and maximum scratch and friction resistance during die-cutting and post-print processing.
(*) Solution highlight – High gloss water-based coating:
Melchers offers a groundbreaking solution using a water-based coating that can completely replace traditional UV coatings when combined with high-quality inks and substrates. This product is particularly suitable for label paper and difficult-to-absorb surfaces, achieving gloss levels comparable to UV coatings in actual measurements, helping businesses save on drying energy and being more environmentally friendly.
3. Quick-Drying UV Coating and FCM UV Coating Solutions for Food Packaging
Melchers Vietnam offers cutting-edge UV drying technology with two main product lines:
- The standard UV coating system and UV Heatset: Designed for instant drying using standard UV lamps, this system allows for the operation of roll or sheet-fed printing at the maximum speed of the equipment. The product delivers an exceptionally high gloss finish, with a flexible coating that minimizes cracking at folds or corners of cardboard boxes.
- The FCM UV coating system for food packaging: This represents a strategic advancement in line with the trend of exporting green, safe packaging to stringent international markets. The FCM line of coatings features a low migration formula, strictly adhering to the EU Framework Regulation EU 1935/2004, produced according to EuPIA GMP guidelines, and fully compliant with the Swiss Ordinance standards and Nestlé’s directives. The product is 100% pure, completely free of volatile solvents, offers superior yellowing resistance, and ensures absolute food safety.
