MONTREAL—  Flint Group will increase prices across its packaging inks and coatings portfolio in the USA and Canada, effective December 14, 2026. The adjustment reflects sustained cost pressures during the second half of 2026.High crude oil prices are severely driving up the cost of essential petrochemical precursors, including solvents, resins, additives, and other related materials. Together, these pressures have increased the cost of manufacturing and supplying inks and coatings. Flint Group, a  global supplier of print consumables  announced the launch of Flint Offset Packaging Solutions (FOPS), a new division aligning the route to market for Sheetfed Inks, Press Room Chemicals and Printing Blankets.
