Flint Group Debuts New Coatings

Flint Group Narrow Web, Rogers, Minnesota, has re- leased two UV-flexo coating products to improve the recyclability for shrink sleeves and pressure-sensitive labels. Flint Group’s new coating products are avail- able in North America and will soon be available in Europe and other regions. Flint Group’s Evolution Deinking Primer for shrink sleeves and the Evolution Caustic Resistant Over Print Varnish (OPV) for self-adhesive labels are designed to increase the yield of material in the recycling pro- cess. The company says both of these new coatings have been recognized by the Washington-based As- sociation of Plastic Recyclers (APR) to comply with the critical guidance for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) packaging. Label Congress 2021 Brings Industry Together Label Congress 2021, organized by Labelexpo Global Series, attracted 743 visitors to the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. Label Congress 2021 featured a two-day conference program. The first day started with an overview of global and U.S. label market trends, followed by a look at digital embellishment. Two panel sessions followed on hybrid printing and whether label converters should move into flexible packaging, concluding with a presentation on IoT (In- ternet of Things)-driven connectivity for consumer products by Avery Dennison. Day two’s keynote saw Label Industry Global Awards Global Lifetime Achievement winner Federico d’An- nunzio explain how data transparency will transform the label industry, and this was followed by a panel discussion on sustainability. Paul Brauss then looked at how to create a culture of continuous improvement, and the conference concluded with a panel on recruit- ing and retaining young talent. The exhibition which ran alongside the Label Con- gress conference attracted 57 exhibitors.
