As Labelexpo Americas 2024 approaches, Flint Group is gearing up to introduce attendees to the latest advancements in print technology. As a global leader in ink and coating solutions, the company is thrilled to present its products designed to minimise energy use, reduce waste, and support packaging circularity.

Products highlighted at the event include Evolution De-inking Primer and Caustic-Resistant Overprint Varnish (OPV), which enhance sustainability in packaging by improving material yield during the PET bottle recycling process. This range is designed to increase the amount of material that can be reclaimed, increasing the feedstock and availability of recycled material.

Narrow web printers will learn about the dual-curing EkoCure® ink series, which eases the transition from UV mercury to UV LED curing. This range enables printers to achieve high-performance printing while minimising their environmental impact and includes the EkoCure® ANCORA range approved for food contact materials.

Flint Group’s Ultra Clear Dual Cure Coatings, will also be highlighted at Labelexo Americas. With these products, narrow web printers can harness the advantages of UV LED curing to provide the necessary clarity and protection for label and packaging requirements. These unique coatings can cure under both UV LED lamps and UV lamps containing mercury, simplifying LED adoption without increasing complexity.

Anna Niewiadomska, Marketing Manager Narrow Web at Flint Group, said: “With sustainability being a key focus in the label and packaging sector, Labelexpo Americas offers a fantastic opportunity for attendees to explore our solutions that enhance sustainability credentials. Our products, such as the EkoCure® inks and Ultra Clear Dual Cure Coatings, reduce energy consumption through UV LED curing, while Evolution maximises recycling potential. Flint Group’s offerings are designed with sustainability at the forefront. We encourage anyone interested to contact us and schedule a meeting today. We look forward to welcoming narrow web printers and converters at the Flint Group stand!
