With a significant worldwide presence supported by
parent company Sakata INX of Japan, INX International Ink Co. will display its
strength and global reach by showcasing a complete product line of inks and
coatings at ExpoPrint Latin America, being held March 20-24 in Sao Paolo,
Brazil.
South America’s largest industry event, ExpoPrint
Latin America represents the first time INX (booth 417) will be exhibiting in
South America. The product lines that will be displayed are geared to showcase
the strengths of Creative Industria e Comercio Ltda., one of the leading
manufacturers of flexographic and gravure packaging inks. INX acquired the
company in December 2016.
“ExpoPrint is an excellent opportunity for INX to
demonstrate our consistent global expansion efforts and commitment to the South
American market by providing packaging solutions to our worldwide customers,”
said Rick Clendenning, President and CEO.
INX will exhibit Synergy and Belle Color
solvent-based inks for flexible packaging and 2-piece metal decoration inks and
coatings. Synergy is a flexographic laminating ink that works well with a wide
range of solvent-based and solvent-less adhesive systems. Designed to run at
press speeds of 2000 feet per minute, it is a high performance product with
excellent printability and heat resistance for general purpose, snack food
packaging. Synergy possesses superb bond strength and resolubility, and low
solvent retention is achievable with extrusion and adhesive lamination.
Belle Color solvent-based rotogravure laminating
inks are the highest performing inks on the market for adhesive and extrusion
lamination. These inks are specifically formulated for retort, boil-in-bag and
a vast range of diverse packaging applications. A proprietary, high quality ink
system, customers are impressed by how sharp it prints on many different
substrates. Belle Color, like Synergy, also offers excellent heat resistance,
low solvent retention, and resolves doctor blade issues that are commonly found
with other inks.
INX is the largest worldwide producer of 2-piece
metal decorating inks. Many popular beverage brands understand the significant
value and shelf appeal that INX metal decorating inks have to offer. With
outstanding bright and sharp colors, make sure to ask about the INX Color
Perfection 2-Piece Metal Color Catalog, which contains over 600 metal color
swatches. It is the industry’s first true color standard for beverage can
design printed directly on metal.
