Sun Chemical at LOUPE Americas 2026: Narrow-Web Portfolio at Booth 326

18 August 2026: Sun Chemical plans to present its narrow web, tag and label portfolio at LOUPE Americas 2026 from 15 to 17 September at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. At Booth 326, it will highlight inks, coatings, adhesives, dispensing equipment and colour-management tools for label and packaging converters.

Sun Chemical at LOUPE Americas 2026: what is planned ?

According to Sun Chemical’s announcement dated 10 August 2026, the planned display covers labels, shrink sleeves, bottle-wrap labels and small-format flexible packaging. The company is presenting the portfolio under its “Experience. Transformation.” theme.

The event itself runs for three days and was previously known as Labelexpo Americas. The official LOUPE Americas website lists labels, flexible packaging and folding cartons among its main areas. Screen Print India has also published a guide to the renamed 2026 event.

Inks for narrow-web and label production

The announced ink line-up includes SolarFlex Max D 1.5 and SolarFlex AccuFlex, together with SolarWave DS, SolarWave DS LM and SolarWave CRCL UV LED flexo inks. Sun Chemical says the products address requirements including high-density print, low-odour or low-migration production, dual-cure operation, shrink sleeves and de-inkable label structures. The precise benefit depends on the selected ink, substrate, curing system and end use.

The display follows other work by the company in energy-curable printing. Screen Print India previously reported on Sun Chemical’s UV LED flexo inks at a BOBST event, although that earlier showcase involved different SolarWave products.

Coatings, adhesives and pressroom systems

Sun Chemical also plans to show several finishing and production products ….

• Coatings: SunInspire soft-touch and special-effects products; SunCure mono-web, Premium UV and Matte coatings; and SunCure Primer for inter-film adhesion.
• Adhesives: SolarLam UV laminating adhesive for label and packaging structures.
• Dispensing: the MX12 Hybrid Dispenser and systems for water-based inks, intended to improve ink-mixing accuracy and reduce unused material.
• Consumables: SunClean and SunVisto products for UV and water-based ink-cleaning tasks.

How does SunColorBox fit into the portfolio ?

SunColorBox connects colour specification and production across spot-colour, CMYK and extended-gamut workflows. Sun Chemical describes it as a set of tools and services for digital colour communication, approvals and production control. Its role at the booth is to show how software and colour data can sit alongside inks and pressroom equipment rather than operate as a separate process. The company’s broader narrow web, tag and label solutions page also covers colour management, coatings, UV and UV LED inks, consumables and dispensing technology.

When and where is the event ?

LOUPE Americas 2026 is scheduled for 15-17 September 2026 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, 5555 N. River Road, Rosemont, Illinois. The organiser describes the location as Chicago, while the venue’s official website gives its physical address in Rosemont. Sun Chemical says visitors can find its display at Booth 326.
