Flint Group prepares for Loupe Americas

Flint Group has confirmed its participation at Loupe Americas, which will take place in Chicago from September 15–17, 2026. The company will bring its latest label and packaging products to Loupe Americas, showcasing its largest-ever presence at the event with a combined portfolio of ink, coating and digital print technologies from its narrow web and Flint Group Digital Xeikon business segments. 

At Booth 5821, it will showcase EkoCure Dual Cure inks, designed to run on both conventional UV and UV LED systems. The technology provides flexibility across press configurations without requiring separate workflows, helping converters maintain consistent print performance when switching between jobs and curing technologies.

Also on display will be Flexocure Leap, the company’s latest UV conventional ink innovation. Built on a new resin platform, Flexocure Leap helps reduce the risk of photoinitiator migration while supporting packaging integrity and future regulatory compliance.

The company’s narrow web business segment will also highlight its Hydrokett and Hydrofilm water-based ink systems for narrow web paper and film applications, as well as its broad portfolio of conventional and digital coatings designed to enhance both functional performance and visual appeal.

Flint Group Digital Xeikon will run live demonstrations of three engines on the stand. TX500, powered by Titon dry toner technology, delivers food-safe, durable label production without additional varnish or lamination steps.

PX3300 HD is built on a 1200 DPI UV inkjet platform with PantherCure UV inks. This engine delivers the widest color gamut at 70m/min in CMYK+W. A subscription-based digital label press, Ecolyne is designed to give commercial printers and converters a low-risk, fully managed entry into the label market.

In addition, Flint Group Digital Xeikon experts will be available to discuss the Idera technology for corrugated post-print. Idera is the company’s single-pass UV inkjet platform purpose-built for high-quality, high-speed digital printing on corrugated board. Visitors can request printed samples and learn how Idera supports one of the fastest-growing segments in digital packaging.

Ser van de Graaf, sales and marketing director for Flint Group Digital Xeikon North America, said: 'Converters need technologies that align with their production requirements, and we are thrilled to run live demonstrations of our digital innovations throughout the show.

'Our digital portfolio includes dry toner and UV inkjet to support a wide range of applications, volumes and substrates, from entry-level production through to high-volume label printing. With Titon technology, we also offer a unique combination of dry toner print quality and UV inkjet durability.'

At Loupe, the company will also demonstrate FlintLink, its secure customer portal that provides 24/7 access to SDS and other business documentation, order management, troubleshooting, and remote technical support.

Visitors can also learn about the latest developments in Vivo Color technology, a cutting-edge, end-to-end digital color management platform designed to help printers achieve fast, accurate color matching across the pressroom. By enabling precise brand color reproduction and incorporating press return functionality to simplify ink reuse, Vivo supports smarter workflows, improves operational efficiency, and helps reduce ink inventory costs.

Kenneth Keathley, director of narrow web North America, concluded: 'We are excited to bring the full strength of Flint Group Packaging Solutions to Loupe Americas 2026. Our UV, UV LED, water-based and coating technologies are designed to integrate seamlessly into existing operations, providing stable performance, predictable curing, and support for evolving regulatory compliance requirements.

'This event is all about connecting with customers, understanding their goals and helping them identify practical ways to improve their operations. We invite attendees to visit Booth 5821 and discover how Flint Group Packaging Solutions can help support their business today and into the future.'
