Flint Group Introduces Cost-Effective Water Flexo Ink for PE Bags

Flint Group North America Packaging and Narrow Web has released Premo Film ETS, its newest water-based ink system for flexo printed polyethylene bags.
    
The Premo Film ETS ink line provides excellent and stable printing properties over a wide range of press conditions. Premo Film ETS has run successfully at speeds from 150 fpm to 1100 fpm roll-to-roll, and on presses which have in-line extrusion and/or in-line bag making. The key benefits are press stability, excellent printing properties, high level of block resistance and good product resistance.

“This is a unique market with unique ink requirements,” said Susan Kuchta, vice president and general manager of Flint Group’s North American Packaging and Narrow Web business. “We knew our customers needed a new product to maintain their competitive position, so we directed our product development resources to design a new product line to address those unique requirements. The result is a completely new product. We are very happy with the results we have seen, and the response and comments from our customers.”
