Inks, Coatings and Adhesives, Digital Technologies and Technical expertise lead the way to help Advance Corrugated printing
Schaumburg, IL – INX International (booth 708) will spotlight a range of technologies and share its expertise to help support today’s production demands and tomorrow’s opportunities at TAPPI CorrExpo. The corrugated industry’s premier trade show and networking event is being held September 28-30 at the Fort Worth Convention Center in Fort Worth, Texas.
INX experts will share with attendees a substantial portfolio consisting of natural-based aqueous inks, coatings and adhesives, and high performance digital printing inks. It includes the 32-page Coatings & Adhesives Catalog, a new resource to help identify technologies based on their application, performance, production, sustainability and production requirements, In addition, by scheduling a meeting, they can offer technical and regulatory expertise geared towards advancing corrugated printing efforts.
“Corrugated packaging continues to evolve. Thus, the demand is always increasing for greater efficiency, sustainability, and print quality across both traditional and digital printing,” remarked Renee Schouten, vice president of marketing for INX, which is now the second largest producer of inks and coatings in North America.
“Every corrugated operation is different and that’s why our conversations begin with their specific goals in mind. The market is expanding and it raises the bar across the board to produce outstanding, next-level work. Our team in booth 708 is prepared to help box makers and the other attendees elevate print quality, achieve compliance, and advance their sustainability objectives.”
Developing Market-Ready Corrugated Solutions
As recent industry reports indicate the global corrugated industry is expected to expand from $240 billion this year to $265 billion in 2031, INX has the resources and the support of its world-class R&D group to produce the highest quality solutions for future corrugated needs.
With sustainability a key issue for the lifecycle of a printed package, INX’s natural-based platform of aqueous inks answer the call. Renewable-content formulations such as INXhrc are engineered to deliver reliable, high quality press performance while helping to reduce the carbon footprint.
INXhrc’s blend of clean and safe bio-renewable ingredients uses fewer chemicals compared to traditional inks and does not contain allergens, nanomaterials, fluorochemicals, fanal pigments, heavy metals, latex or PTFE. It also significantly lowers CO2 emissions and produces solid results without sacrificing machine, processing, or end-use performance.
INX’s comprehensive portfolio of water-based and specialty coatings and adhesives for corrugated packaging will be prominently featured. The latest technologies are engineered to integrate seamlessly with energy-curable and digital print workflows and enhance package performance, improve print quality, and support efficient converting.
INXJet Premium Digital inks can help manufacturers expand their digital printing capabilities with confidence. The growing adoption of customization and personalization in the digital corrugated sector makes this ink portfolio – including BECB-06 UV Curable inkjet inks – ideal. Designed to work as part of complete production environments by combining ink chemistry with printhead compatibility, fluid delivery, curing and application requirements, these inks allow converters to reduce development risk and move new digital packaging applications more efficiently from qualification to commercial production.
