By entering the liquid ink market, C.O.I.M. S.p.A., Italian multinational company manufacturing speciality chemicals since 1962, has associated the Coiminks brand with Novacote systems, providing flexible packaging manufacturers with a “3 in 1” solution. As a single-source supplier of inks, adhesives, and coatings, C.O.I.M. is one of the best players in this sector.
“The fact that flexible packaging manufacturers can rely on one supplier alone for all three hi-tech components provides them with numerous benefits in terms of performance and safety. Moreover, it reduces product development times.” – said Alessandro Passerini, General Manager of COIM EMEA – “Having a single-source supplier ensures ink, adhesive, and coating compatibility, as tested and certified by COIM. This allows us to consolidate our position in the flexible packaging sector serving the food, pharmaceutical and make-up industries and represents over 25% of COIM Group’s turnover. We manufacture our systems in Italy, the U.S.A., Singapore and Brazil to stay close to our customers and provide the best service possible.” Concluded Alessandro Passerini.
The packaging for food, make-up and pharmaceutical products is regulated with stringent consumer-protection regulations. Whether it’s for pasta, wet wipes or pharmaceutical blisters, COIM’s knowledge of inks, adhesives, and coatings, in terms of performance and interactions, guarantees safe and efficient packaging.
Packaging effectiveness is also related to other commercial factors. The choice of the right raw materials (inks, adhesives, coatings), for example, can increase the preservability of the packaging content and, thus, improve the shelf-life of a product. The colour, quality, and durability of the ink used for making the packaging can make an on-shelf product more or less attractive.
“The success of our company and customers is based on our consolidated experience in the flexible packaging industry and “3 in 1” offering (to which we are adding compostable solutions).” Concluded Alessandro Passerini.
