INX at LOUPE Americas 2026: Ink, Coating and Adhesive Line-up
21 August 2026: INX International plans to present inks, coatings and adhesives at LOUPE Americas 2026 from September 15 to 17 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. Its booth 129 programme targets label and packaging converters seeking nitrocellulose-free, low-migration and recycling-oriented options for flexible packaging, food packs and shrink sleeves.
What will INX at LOUPE Americas 2026 present ?
According to the company’s August 19 announcement, the booth will cover labels, flexible packaging, shrink sleeves, folding cartons and food-service packaging. INX has grouped the line-up around four practical areas: nitrocellulose-free ink systems, low-migration technologies, shrink-sleeve inks, and functional coatings and adhesives.
The event marks the first Americas edition under the LOUPE name, which replaced Labelexpo in 2026. Readers planning a visit can see the event background in Screen Print India’s LOUPE Americas 2026 registration report.
Nitrocellulose-free inks for flexible packaging
INX plans to feature Innova Plus NCF, BelleFlora NCF and a new Surface Print NCF ink. Its official Innova Plus NCF product page describes the product as a solvent-based flexographic ink system for adhesive lamination. INX says it supports mono-material packaging work and can run with solvent-based, water-based or solventless adhesives.
BelleFlora NCF addresses gravure lamination, while the surface-print product extends the company’s nitrocellulose-free offer beyond lamination. Screen Print India previously covered the Innova Plus NCF launch and its intended role in flexible packaging.
Low-migration options still require package testing
Food-packaging products named for booth 129 include INXFlex LM LED and INXFlex Contour UVF LM. INX says these systems are made for reliable curing, adhesion and print quality where migration control matters.
That does not make a finished pack automatically compliant. INX’s low-migration guidance states that the end user must test the final package construction against the rules or industry guidance that applies. Substrates, adhesives, coatings and production conditions can all affect migration.
Shrink-sleeve inks aimed at recycling systems
The planned shrink-sleeve range includes Genesis Washable Inks, VersaTech Shrink, VersaTech Shrink Washable and the UV-curable INXFlex Contour line. INX says the conventional and washable systems are designed for modern floatable or washable recycling processes while retaining colour, adhesion and shrink performance.
Converters should still qualify each ink with the chosen film, container and recycling route. The announcement describes product intent; it does not provide third-party recycling certification for every package structure.
Coatings and adhesives broaden the booth programme
INX will also bring water-based and energy-curable coatings and adhesives for barrier, food-service, digital and other functional uses. A new 32-page Coatings & Adhesives Catalog will be available at the booth. The company says its technical and regulatory staff will discuss product selection, application development and qualification with converters.
