Flint Group expands TerraCode Bio range with extender for Industrial Bag printing

Flint Group, a leading provider of inks and coatings for the printing and packaging sectors, has launched TerraCode Bio Bag SX02 – the eco-conscious, high-speed printing single extender developed specifically for industrial paper packaging applications. This product is specifically engineered to help industrial bag printers reduce their environmental impact without sacrificing performance when introducing high bio-renewable content.

This new addition to the TerraCode Bio range is designed to offer quality that matches conventional extenders with the benefit of significant sustainability improvements. The range features 80% bio-renewable content, and by replacing traditional extenders it can help printers cut their carbon footprint by up to a 20%.

Designed for use in combination with HexaCode bases, TerraCode Bio Bag SX02 offers high-speed performance, supporting print speeds of up to 600 metres per minute with low maintenance requirements. Its optimised filler content results in low misting and dusting, enabling clean, efficient and reliable runs.

First launched in 2019, TerraCode is Flint Group's range of eco-conscious inks and coatings for paper packaging applications. This new addition to the product line reinforces Flint Group’s commitment to providing technology that supports the development of more sustainable packaging.

Alessio Crivellari, Product Manager for Paper & Board Europe at Flint Group, said: “TerraCode Bio Bag SX02 enables bag printers to balance environmental responsibility with the demanding performance requirements of the industrial sector - offering an ideal solution for companies aiming to meet sustainability goals without compromising print quality.

“Developed from our trusted HexaCode Bag technology, TerraCode Bio Bag features high bio-renewable content and is engineered for high-throughput environments with reduced environmental impact. With this innovation, the industrial bag sector can now achieve eco-conscious printing more easily than ever—supporting a cleaner, more sustainable future.”
