Shailesh Sharma, senior technical manager, Flint Group India
Flint Group India participated in the technical workshop organized by Label Manufacturers Association of India (LMAI) at Chelmsford Club in New Delhi to create awareness for label converters and the industry. The workshop was mainly based on narrow-web ink chemistry, developments in LED curing systems, wealth management and creating value in label printing.
Shailesh Sharma, senior technical manager, Flint Group India, talked about narrow web inks, UV and water-based ink components and factors responsible for their complete curing and importance of UV light intensity and pH in water-based inks. Advantages of LED curing vis-à-vis conventional UV curing were discussed in detail. Flint Group’s product range, including the latest LED curing inks was also presented. The session ended with a discussion on common printing problems and troubleshooting.
During the question-answer session, there was discussion about LED curing advantages, cost implications and availability of new generation inks. Flint confirmed that once regular demand for LED-UV develops in India, inks will be imported from the Flint Group in the US and maintained in stock.

The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.
A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has
demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.
As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.
The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.
Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
