Flint Group Packaging Solutions has confirmed its attendance at Flexo & Labels Expo 2026, the Latin American label and flexible packaging industry’s flagship exhibition.
The event takes place from 26 to 29 May at the Anhembi District, São Paulo, Brazil. The company’s Narrow Web team will be at Stand 100, Street I/3, presenting its latest ink and coating technologies for label converters.
The company’s EkoCure® portfolio will be in the spotlight. These dual-curing inks perform under both UV Hg and UV LED lamps, enabling converters to transition to LED curing, press by press. Within the EkoCure range, EkoCure ANCORA is a migration-optimised ink designed for food contact materials (FCM) that supports applications in food labelling and packaging.
Regarding recyclability, the Evolution range addresses the specific challenge posed by shrink sleeves and pressure-sensitive labels, which might contaminate the PET recycling stream. The range includes a De-inking Primer and a Caustic-Resistant Overprint Varnish to enable clean ink-substrate separation during the caustic wash, keeping more material viable as high-quality rPET. The result is a recycled PET yield increase of up to 10%.
Flint Group Packaging Solutions will also present Flexocure® LEAP, its UV Hg FCM ink for food packaging. Built on a new resin system, this revolutionary ink range reduces the risk of photoinitiator migration by stabilising PI compounds within the ink structure. As food safety regulations evolve worldwide, converters printing for food applications need ink technology that does not require reformulation every time the permitted materials list changes. Flexocure LEAP is designed to remain compliant as regulations develop.
Fabio Ribeiro, Sales Director of Packaging Brazil & NW South America at Flint Group Packaging Solutions, said: “Printers across Latin America are facing the same pressures we see everywhere: energy costs, compliance complexity, and brand owners pushing hard on recyclability. What’s changed is that the technology to tackle all three is now genuinely available.
“At Stand 100, visitors will see exactly how EkoCure makes the transition to LED curing practical rather than disruptive, how Evolution protects the quality of recovered PET so more of it stays in the circular economy rather than being lost to lower-grade waste streams, and how Flexocure LEAP removes the regulatory guesswork from food packaging ink decisions. Flexo & Labels Expo brings the whole Latin American market together in one place. We want every converter who walks through those doors to leave knowing what’s possible.
