“Under the ONECode brand, we have built a new product hierarchy including six new brands,” says Kim Melander, Vice President & General Manager for Packaging Inks Europe, “These ink systems, developed to unlock the complex landscape of flexible package printing, to connect, clarify, and bring transparency to the flexible packaging printing industry.”
Mr. Melander continues, “Flint Group Packaging Inks’ ONECode range will guarantee printers and converters innovative, reliable, and sustainable ink solutions that deliver the highest performance possible from your most simple to your most demanding applications.”

With this simplified range of solvent-based inks, we have been able to optimise our customer support with shortened lab response times.
