hubergroup Print Solutions will showcase its extensive portfolio for metal decoration at METPACK.
hubergroup Print Solutions is showcasing its metal decoration portfolio at METPACK 2026 (Hall 1, Booth 1B11), with a focus on food packaging inks and LED-UV curing technologies.
The company presents two key product lines: the conventional offset ink series TINKREDIBLE MGA and the new NewV tin LED MGA series, which is being introduced as a dedicated solution for food packaging applications.
Transition to LED-UV curing in food packaging
The NewV tin LED MGA series is designed for three-piece metal can applications and supports the increasing adoption of LED-UV curing technologies in the packaging industry.
LED-UV curing offers advantages in terms of energy efficiency, process stability, and reduced thermal load compared to conventional curing systems. These characteristics are particularly relevant in food packaging, where material integrity and regulatory compliance are critical.
The ink series complies with regulatory requirements including the German Ink Ordinance (GIO) and the Swiss Ordinance, as well as guidelines from major brand manufacturers.

Technical performance and application scope
hubergroup’s metal decoration portfolio covers a wide range of applications, including:
- Food cans and closures
- Aerosol containers
- Crown caps
- Chemical and technical packaging
The ink systems are designed to deliver consistent colour quality, surface durability, and resistance to mechanical stress. These properties support reliable performance in high-speed printing environments and throughout the packaging lifecycle.
Integrated pressroom system
In addition to inks, hubergroup provides complementary varnishes and fountain solution additives engineered to function as a unified system. This integrated approach enables consistent process performance and reduces variability during production.
By aligning inks, coatings, and auxiliary materials, the system supports:

By aligning inks, coatings, and auxiliary materials, the system supports:
- Stable printing processes
- Improved operational efficiency
- Consistent end-product quality
Service and process optimization
The company also emphasizes technical support and consulting services, offering local expertise to assist customers in optimizing pressroom operations. This includes guidance on system integration, process adjustments, and transition to new curing technologies.
Such support is particularly relevant as manufacturers adopt LED-UV systems and adapt existing production lines to new requirements.
Industry relevance
The introduction of LED-curable ink systems reflects broader industry trends toward more energy-efficient and compliant packaging processes. As regulatory requirements for food packaging tighten, manufacturers are increasingly seeking solutions that combine safety, performance, and sustainability.
Event context
At METPACK 2026, hubergroup demonstrates how integrated ink and coating systems can support evolving production requirements in metal packaging, particularly in food-related applications.
