Flint Group, a global leader in ink and coating solutions for print and packaging, has announced its participation in the upcoming Flexographic Technical Association (FTA) Infoflex 2025 event, taking place on 5 – 6 May in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
At North America’s premier event for the flexographic printing industry, Flint Group will highlight a range of advanced inks and coatings tailored for labels, flexible packaging, and paper and board packaging.
Nicki Kerrigan, vice president, sales and service, North America at Flint Group, said, “The rapidly evolving trends in the packaging industry, alongside shifting consumer behaviors, create both challenges and opportunities for package printing. Consumers and brand owners are demanding more sustainable and circular packaging solutions, while also expecting high-quality print, functionality, and shelf appeal.
“Our solutions, presented at Infoflex 2025, empower North America’s flexo printers to tackle these challenges head-on and exceed the packaging demands of today and the future.”
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 Dual Cure range provides energy-efficient curing technology, simplifying the transition from traditional mercury (Hg) curing to UV LED.
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.
For fibre-based packaging, Flint Group’s Paper & 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.
Flint Group’s FlintLink customer portal and 360°ServiceCode platform provide added value to customers. FlintLink offers digital access to important customer-specific information anytime, anywhere, while 360°ServiceCode is a comprehensive service philosophy designed to help customers manage cost, complexity, and improve operational efficiency. Visitors to stand 513 at Infoflex 2025 can learn more about both platforms.
Kerrigan added, “We’re excited to welcome flexo printers to stand 513, where we’ll showcase how our innovative products can help them deliver exceptional print quality while supporting the packaging industry’s sustainable and circular future.”
