Flint Group Packaging Solutions will showcase its latest low-migration, food-safe packaging inks and colour management technology at LOUPE India 2026, the label and packaging trade show running October 29 to November 1 at the India Expo Centre & Mart in Greater Noida. The company confirmed its presence at Stand N21 on September 21, 2026, positioning the event as a key India launchpad for its newest ink and curing product lines.
Flint Group’s showcase centres on EkoCure Dual Cure, an ink system compatible with both mercury UV and UV LED curing lamps, alongside two food-packaging-focused inks: Flexocure ANCORA, designed for low-migration applications, and Flexocure LEAP, a mercury UV-curing ink built for food safety compliance. The company will also present VIVO Colour Solutions, its ink and colour-management platform, and FlintLink, a B2B portal for order and support management.
Why Is Flint Group Focusing on Low-Migration Food-Safe Inks?
Low-migration inks are formulated to minimise the transfer of ink chemicals into packaged food and are increasingly demanded by Indian converters serving FMCG and food brands facing tightening safety and regulatory expectations. Flint Group’s Flexocure ANCORA and Flexocure LEAP lines target this segment directly, reflecting how printing ink manufacturers in India are prioritising food-contact compliance as flexible packaging volumes grow across the country’s packaged food and e-commerce sectors.
What Does This Mean for India’s Printing Ink Industry?
The launch of dual-cure ink systems like EkoCure, which work with both legacy mercury UV and newer UV LED curing infrastructure, gives Indian label and packaging converters flexibility to upgrade equipment gradually rather than replacing curing systems all at once. Combined with the VIVO colour-management platform, Flint Group’s LOUPE India presence signals continued investment by global ink majors in India’s fast-growing label and flexible packaging printing market.
Market Reaction and Industry Response
LOUPE India, formerly known as Labelexpo India, remains one of the region’s largest gatherings for label and package printing technology, drawing converters evaluating new curing equipment and ink chemistries. Flint Group’s product lineup will also feature the Ecolyne dry-toner digital label press, capable of 1200 dpi resolution at a 330 mm web width and print speeds of 25 metres per minute in CMYK plus white configuration, underscoring the event’s focus on both ink chemistry and digital press hardware.
What Happens Next?
Converters and packaging buyers can evaluate Flint Group’s new ink systems and the Ecolyne press firsthand at Stand N21 when LOUPE India 2026 opens October 29 in Greater Noida. Adoption of low-migration and dual-cure ink technologies over the following quarters will be a key indicator of how quickly India’s packaging printing industry moves toward stricter food-safety ink standards.
