Sun Chemical Returns to Labelexpo Americas 2022

Using the theme “Power of Labels,” Sun Chemical will showcase and present its complete portfolio of solutions for the packaging and narrow web, tag and label markets to converters across North and South America during Labelexpo Americas 2022 from September 13-15 in Rosemont, Ill.

“Our commitment to sustainability continues to be a fundamental part of our innovation and product development at Sun Chemical,” said Dennis Sweet, Vice President NWTL, Commercial, Rycoline and Distributors. “We’re excited to be back at Labelexpo Americas 2022 to highlight our sustainable product offerings and provide an opportunity to reconnect with the narrow web industry.”

Using its ‘5Rs’ framework (Reuse, Reduce, Renew, Recycle and Redesign) as a guide, Sun Chemical invests significantly in R&D to improve the eco-efficiency and sustainability of the packaging that utilizes its inks, coatings and adhesives to support a circular economy.

Visitors of booth #749 will learn about the many bio-renewable, compostable and recyclable products under Sun Chemical’s SunEco portfolio of solutions. Some of these include:
*SolarFlex CRCL for Shrink & Non-Shrink Applications: The SolarFlex CRCL ink range was developed for UV flexo applications and allows the removal of ink from PET film without a primer, increasing the recyclability of products that use shrink labels. These inks also feature strong dot reproduction and high press speeds to ensure quality, in addition to meeting the industry’s increasing sustainability requirements.
*SolarFlex High Adhesion Technology: The SolarFlex UV flexo ink series is designed to provide the high adhesion needed without the use of a primer for the most challenging substrates.
*SunCure Mono-web Coatings: SunCure UV Flexo coatings eliminate the lamination process, ultimately saving adhesive, film and processing, while also reducing carbon footprint.

Quad’s Joel Quadraccci Urges Congress to Act on USPS Reform (whattheythink.com)

In response to election-year political gridlock on common sense reform for the struggling United States Postal Service, I sent the following letter to roughly 300 U.S. Senators and Representatives this week. This isn’t just a matter for the postal industry — it’s in the best interest of the nation’s overall economy. Dear Senator: Quad was founded by my father in 1971, when he took out a second mortgage on our home and he along with a handful of dedicated partners opened the doors to what today has grown into the nation’s largest long-run printer with nearly 20,000 employees spanning across 20 states. I was two years old when Quad began, so I have quite literally grown up as part of the industry. My father’s vision has transformed many lives through hard work, dedication and smart business. However, that vision would not have happened without the tremendous partnership Quad has forged with the United States Postal Service. Today, Quad mails more than 10 billion pieces of mail each year on behalf of our clients. This accounts for 13% of the overall marketing mail volume in the country. The USPS continues to be a vital partner to the mailing/marketing industry — an industry that is comprised of retailers, marketers, catalogers, directories, direct mailers, magazine and book publishers along with paper manufacturers, timber producers and many others. The industry employs over 7 million people and accounts for $1.6 trillion of economic activity on par with industries such as air travel, automotive and oil and gas. The industry provides family supporting jobs throughout the country and over 90% of the Postal Service’s revenue. Leading Quad at this critical time gives me a sense of urgency in knowing that the future of our industry is at stake if our leaders do not act in our best interest.
