Spotlight on hubergroup’s integrated system for flexible packaging
At its booth, hubergroup will showcase its solvent-based Gecko portfolio and its lamination adhesives. Amit Dammani, Business Head Packaging Solutions at hubergroup India, says: “Our Gecko inks and varnishes as well as our lamination adhesives are built as an integrated system to deliver uptime, quality, and recyclability – practical tools for converters navigating today’s uncertainty while pursuing sustainable growth.“
Safe food packaging with toluene‑free and NC‑free Gecko inks
Engineered for operational efficiency and consistent quality, the Gecko ink series is toluene-free and widely used in snack packaging, confectionery laminates, dairy pouches, and pharmaceutical overwraps. It delivers high colour yield, excellent lamination bond strength, and stable rheology at elevated press speeds. hubergroup will also present its expanded NC‑free portfolio as part of its commitment to circular packaging solutions.
Adhesives that make structures work as one
Adhesives are central to making multiple substrates perform as a single reliable structure. With its lamination adhesives, hubergroup offers an integrated portfolio – solvent‑based and solvent‑free – that extends naturally from its Gecko inks to ensure consistent results across the converting process. Converters benefit from high bond strength across diverse film structures, fast curing for increased efficiency, excellent thermal and chemical resistance, seamless performance in flexographic, rotogravure, and other printing processes, and low‑migration solutions for sensitive applications. The range delivers robust, reliable output in demanding production environments, combining efficiency with process stability.
Visitors to ElitePlus are invited to meet the hubergroup team at the company’s booth to explore how integrated ink, varnish, and adhesive solutions can support their packaging and sustainability goals.
