At the 2017 DFTA Flexo Association annual industry conference hubergroup will exhibit products that solve process-related printing problems and open up new possibilities for packaging designers.

The DFTA autumn conference covers topical issues and challenges that affect the corrugated-board and flexible-packaging sectors.

hubergroup will show its special-effect coatings, including soft-touch coatings that give the substrate a velvety or suede-like surface and the complete packaging a luxury feel. The company is also bringing its highly pigmented halftone inks, along with an opaque white that offers printers almost the same opacity levels as can be achieved with the gravure process and prevents the package contents or substrate from shimmering through.

Also appearing at the conference will be the hu-track hardware/software service package marketed by hubergroup that enables users to quickly check the quality of the inks they are using and to modify ink formulations directly on the press. 

The conference takes place on 14 September 2017 at the Pentahotel Leipzig.
