In addition, VEGRA provides water-based dispersion coatings that are approved for direct contact with food and have been tested and approved by ISEGA.

Our printing auxiliaries help enhance the printing process, such as optimisation of ink-water balance or rub resistance. We strive to always offer innovative products that ensure high printing quality and are environmentally friendly at the same time.
