中文At LOUPE India 2026, visitors will discover how Flint Group Packaging Solutions’ advanced inks, coatings, digital technologies and technical expertise can help converters improve efficiency, meet evolving regulatory requirements and prepare for the future of packaging production. The stand is a reminder that in packaging, the ink and coating are not consumables bolted onto the press – they are the front line of food safety, compliance and shelf appeal, and a supplier that can document all three earns the specification.
Key highlights will include EkoCure – Dual Cure technology, designed to support the transition from conventional UV to UV LED curing while helping reduce energy consumption and simplify ink inventory. UV LED is one of the quietest revolutions in flexo: it cuts energy, removes mercury-lamp disposal, and lets a converter run a single ink set across more substrates. Dual Cure matters because it bridges the installed base of conventional-UV presses and the newer LED ones, so a converter does not have to rip out capital to move toward LED.
The company will also present Flexocure Ancora and Flexocure Leap, UV flexo ink solutions developed to support food-packaging applications, enhanced compliance and reliable press performance. As regulators tighten migration rules for inks that touch food contact materials, a supplier that can demonstrate compliant, low-migration formulations is not a nice-to-have but a condition of supply. Flint Group’s emphasis on food-packaging-grade UV flexo is a direct answer to that pressure in the Indian market, where packaged food and pharmaceutical demand is expanding fast.
Visitors can explore Vivo Color Solutions, Flint Group Packaging Solutions’ digital colour-management platform, alongside FlintLink, its digital customer portal providing access to essential technical information. Colour management is where brand consistency is won or lost across a converter’s fleet and a supplier’s batch, and a digital platform that standardizes it reduces the waste and rework that drift creates. FlintLink, meanwhile, is the service layer: technical data on demand, which matters for converters far from a supplier’s local support hub.
The stand will also feature Ecolyne by Flint Group Digital (Xeikon), a food-safe dry-toner digital label press offering high-quality production, substrate flexibility and accessible commercial options for converters entering digital print. Ecolyne is Flint Group’s route into the digital press itself, pairing its ink heritage with Xeikon’s dry-toner engine to give a converter an entry point into short-run digital without a separate vendor relationship. For a converter already buying Flint inks, that continuity is a reason to stay inside the ecosystem.
Upal Roy, managing director – India, Middle East, Africa, at Flint Group Packaging Solutions, said: “Our customers are looking for partners who can help them respond confidently to an evolving packaging landscape. They need technologies that work together to improve productivity, simplify operations and prepare for future market requirements. That is exactly what we are bringing to LOUPE India. From advanced ink systems and digital colour management to digital printing and technical expertise, we are helping converters build more efficient, sustainable, regulatory-compliant, and future-ready operations.” Roy’s “technologies that work together” is the strategic line: Flint is selling an integrated system, not a catalogue.
The broader signal is that the Indian packaging supply chain is professionalizing fast, and suppliers are responding with compliance-ready, energy-efficient, digitally managed offerings rather than commodity inks. For converters, the practical payoff is fewer separate vendors, cleaner regulatory documentation and a path from conventional UV toward LED without discarding existing presses. Flint Group’s LOUPE India showcase puts that integrated story in front of the converters most likely to act on it.

Flint Group’s integrated story – compliant UV flexo inks, LED-bridging Dual Cure, digital colour management and the Ecolyne digital press – is built for an Indian market professionalizing fast and demanding regulatory documentation as a condition of supply rather than a courtesy.
For converters, the payoff is fewer separate vendors, cleaner regulatory documentation and a path from conventional UV toward LED without discarding existing presses, which is exactly the pragmatic integration that wins specification in a cost-conscious, compliance-driven market.
Flint Group’s stand is a microcosm of where packaging supply is heading: the ink is no longer a standalone product but part of an integrated offer that includes colour management, digital printing and a service portal, because converters want to buy outcomes and compliance rather than drums they must spec themselves. The Dual Cure story is shrewd for the Indian market specifically, where many plants still run conventional UV and cannot justify a wholesale LED switch overnight, so a bridge ink that runs on both protects their installed capital while still delivering the energy and inventory benefits of LED. Ecolyne extends Flint from chemistry into the press itself via Xeikon’s dry-toner engine, closing the loop for a converter that already trusts the brand. Roy’s integrated message is the one that will resonate with procurement teams under regulatory pressure.
