Flint Group introduced Labelexpo attendees to its latest advancements in print technology at Labelexpo Americas. As a global supplier of ink and coating solutions, the company presented products designed to minimize 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 learned 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 minimizing their environmental impact and includes the EkoCure ANCORA range approved for food contact materials.

Anna Niewiadomska, marketing manager, Narrow Web, Flint Group, stated, “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 maximizes recycling potential. Flint Group’s offerings are designed with sustainability at the forefront.”

Flint Group’s Ultra Clear Dual Cure Coatings was also highlighted at the event. 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 coatings can cure under both UV LED lamps and UV lamps containing mercury, simplifying LED adoption without increasing complexity.
