With the upcoming opening of its new flexographic printing plate manufacturing facility in Concord, CA, Sun Chemical is reinforcing its commitment to printers and brand owners operating in the narrow web tag and label, wide web, folding carton and corrugated markets.
Sun Chemical’s innovative leadership in sustainable packaging solutions will be featured on FOX Business News in an upcoming segment of its show called “The Green Room” at 11 a.m. EST on June 22, 2013.
After a successful event in March at Mark Andy, the 2013 Harper SMART Roadshow continues at Central Peidmont Community College. The Charlotte, NC, stop will be co-hosted with Bobst and will provide participants with valuable insight regarding the flexographic industry's leading products and services.
Sun Chemical will showcase inks for high-speed printing, digital plate technology that provides sharper images than standard plates, plates designed to reduce waste and coatings that engage the senses at INFO*FLEX 2013. Several experts at Sun Chemical will also give presentations.
The Flexographic Technical Association (FTA) is all set to celebrate its 55th anniversary at its big bash—the annual FTA Forum and INFO*FLEX exhibition. With a theme of "Right Here. Right Now.", this year's technical conference and exhibition will take place at the San Diego Convention Center in beautiful San Diego, California from April 28 to May 1.
In response to overwhelming demand, Flexographic Technical Association (FTA) has added 15 additional booths to the previously sold-out INFO*FLEX show floor. INFO*FLEX, the industry’s most comprehensive networking event for the packaging, printing and converting industries, will take place April 29-30, 2013 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego.
Kicking off FTA’s 2013 Forum: Right Here, Right Now (April 28–May 1; San Diego) is a session focused on the regulations, certifications and food safety initiatives that are fast becoming a must for the modern food packager. Dubbed “Life is Full of Options...Complying with Food Safety is Not One of Them!" the session provides much more than a glimpse into food safety.
A new "2012 Sustainability Report," has been released from Sun Chemical that highlight's the company's leadership in eco-efficiency through established data-driven metrics. The report shows data collected every year since 2005 from approximately 170 Sun Chemical sites in over 25 countries.
Two converters, Albéa and Thoro Packaging, have saved a significant amount of money through the Sun Chemical Dispenser Program, a system that provides in-house ink dispensing and gives printers the ability to mix the exact amount of ink that they need when they need it. Package printers that participate in the program must agree to purchase a minimum annual amount of Sun Chemical bases and inks and in return receive a GFI Mx12 dispenser that provides spot color accuracy to within 0.001/lb.
Sun Chemical has joined with ScentSational Technologies to introduce SunScent™ coatings, a commercially printable coating that allows any printer to incorporate scent directly onto the packaging substrate which stays inactive until consumers handle the package, trigger a release, and experience a product’s aroma.
