Consumers and brand owners are demanding more sustainable and circular packaging solutions, while also expecting high-quality print, functionality, and shelf appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur solutions, presented at INFOFLEX 2025, empower North America\u2019s flexo printers to tackle these challenges head-on and exceed the packaging demands of today and the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flint Group\u2019s products are designed with sustainability in mind, aligning with key industry trends for recyclable and resource-efficient solutions. Each product offers unique capabilities tailored to specific applications, enabling flexo printers to meet the needs of their customers while supporting circular economy goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For narrow web printers, Flint Group will feature Evolution De-inking Primer and Evolution Caustic-Resistant Overprint Varnish (OPV), which enhance the recyclability of labels by increasing material yield during the recycling process. The EkoCure\u00ae Dual Cure range provides energy-efficient curing technology, simplifying the transition from traditional mercury (Hg) curing to UV LED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For flexible packaging printers, Flint Group will showcase BPI-certified ZenCode CPT inks, formulated for compostable packaging applications. Additionally, FlexiPrint MV and FlexiStar MV solvent-based flexo inks are designed for printing on mono-materials, a key element in advancing circular packaging economies. VertixCode Lam C502, a high-strength, high-adhesion non-NC lamination system, will also be featured, designed for flexible packaging films and pouches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For fibre-based packaging, Flint Group\u2019s Paper &amp; Board Division will highlight the OctaCode ink series. Part of the AQUACode product portfolio, these water-based inks are ideal for applications requiring high resistance properties, such as aseptic and fresh food packaging, as well as food service and hygiene products. The inks provide high colour strength and outstanding durability for even the most demanding environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flint Group\u2019s FlintLink customer portal and 360\u00b0ServiceCode platform provide added value to customers. FlintLink offers digital access to important customer-specific information anytime, anywhere, while 360\u00b0ServiceCode is a comprehensive service philosophy designed to help customers manage cost, complexity, and improve operational efficiency. Visitors to booth 513 at INFOFLEX 2025 can learn more about both platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Kerrigan added: \u201cWe\u2019re excited to welcome flexo printers to booth 513, where we\u2019ll showcase how our innovative products can help them deliver exceptional print quality while supporting the packaging industry\u2019s sustainable and circular future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flint Group, a global leader in ink and coating solutions for print and packaging, announces its participation in the upcoming Flexographic Technical Association (FTA) INFOFLEX 2025 event, taking place on May 5 &amp; 6 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
