At Metpack 2026, hubergroup Print Solutions will present its comprehensive portfolio for metal decoration at Hall 1, Stand 1B11. With a strong focus on innovation, compliance and performance, the company will showcase solutions tailored to the evolving demands of the industry. Highlights include two series for food packaging: the conventional offset series Tinkredible MGA, which was recently launched globally, and the NewV tin LED MGA series, which will make its official debut at the exhibition.
At the core of hubergroup’s Metpack showcase is its broad offering for metal decoration – including its conventional series Tinkredible and its UV series NewV with LED and mercury-vapor curing systems. The portfolio covers a wide range of applications such as food cans, aerosols, closures, crown caps, and chemical-technical packaging, and is known for high-color brilliance, strong scratch resistance, and environmentally conscious formulation.
Driving the shift to LED-UV in food packaging
A key highlight at Metpack 2026 is the introduction of NewV tin LED MGA, an LED-curing ink series for food packaging designed for three-piece can applications. This innovation responds directly to the growing industry shift toward LED-UV curing technologies, particularly in sensitive food applications where safety, efficiency, and sustainability are critical. The series complies with the requirements of the German Ink Ordinance (GIO), the Swiss Ordinance, and the guidelines of renowned brand manufacturers.
“With NewV tin LED MGA, we are giving metal decorators a reliable, future-proof LED solution that meets the stringent safety requirements of food packaging while delivering excellent printing performance,” says Jan Museler, product manager metal decoration at hubergroup. “It’s an important step in supporting the industry’s transition to LED-UV technologies.”
A fully integrated system for metal decoration
Complementing the Tinkredible and NewV ink systems, hubergroup provides a full suite of varnishes and fountain solution additives, all engineered to work seamlessly together. This integrated approach ensures consistent performance, high efficiency in the pressroom, and reliable end-product quality – delivering a complete system from a single source.
Equally important is the company’s strong focus on service. hubergroup provides local technical support and expert consultation, ensuring customers receive tailored guidance for their specific pressroom requirements. This hands-on approach helps metal decorators optimize processes, improve efficiency, and achieve consistent results.
“Metpack is the ideal platform to demonstrate how our fully integrated pressroom solutions support metal decorators in meeting evolving market demands,” says Patrick Hübel, director product management and technical marketing offset at hubergroup. “By combining high-performance products with strong technical service, we enable our customers to achieve consistent quality, greater efficiency, and a smoother transition to future-ready technologies.”
