Flint Group, a leading provider of ink and coating solutions for the printing and packaging sectors, announces its participation in Flexo & Labels Expo 2024. This prominent exhibition for label converters and printers across Latin America will take place from 25-28 June 2024 in the District Anhembi, São Paulo, Brazil.
At booth #35, Flint Group’s Narrow Web business will showcase innovations that combine sustainability with printing excellence. Visitors will learn about the company’s UV LED EkoCure® portfolio, designed to cure under both traditional UV and UV LED lamps. This dual-curing technology supports printers transitioning to energy-efficient UV LED systems. Of particular interest is EkoCure® ANCORA F2, an ink for food labelling and packaging applications.
Flint Group also invites delegates to explore Evolution, a range that includes a De-inking Primer and a Caustic-resistant Overprint Varnish (OPV), designed to enhance packaging sustainability.
Fabio Ribeiro, Sales Director of Packaging Brazil & NW South America, said: “Printers are actively seeking solutions to minimise energy consumption, reduce waste, streamline operations, and promote packaging circularity. Flexo & Labels Expo is an ideal platform to discuss our innovative solutions addressing these industry challenges.
“We are eager to engage with stand visitors to showcase our EkoCure® range, which offers significant efficiency gains and notable reductions in energy consumption and waste for Narrow Web converters. A true game-changer, EkoCure®’s dual-curing technology facilitates a seamless transition between traditional and UV LED lamps, providing Narrow Web converters with increased flexibility.
“Additionally, we are excited to introduce our Evolution range of Varnishes and Primers. These groundbreaking products contribute to sustainability efforts by increasing the yield of recycled PET by up to 10%, thereby playing a pivotal role in advancing packaging circularity.”
Mr Ribeiro concluded: “The Flint Group team is looking forward to connecting with printers in the Latin American market and highlighting our efforts toward a resource-efficient industry, centred on next-generation inks and coatings.”
