PRINTING INKS

Rotogravure Inks

Low-viscosity inks designed to fill engraved cylinder cells and deliver very thin, uniform ink films at very high printing speeds. They provide superior image quality and consistency, making them ideal for high-volume flexible packaging and premium print applications.

Reverse Lamination Gravure Ink Systems

Designed for printing on film substrates that will later be laminated with adhesives.

(a) Medium-Performance Reverse Lamination Inks

Solvent-based ink systems suitable for flexible films for reverse printing followed by lamination.

Target substrates include treated PET, treated nylon, treated OPP, PVDC-coated films and cellophane.

Balanced printability with good bonding for solvent, solvent-free and water-based adhesives.

(b) Inks for Medium-Speed Inline/Offline Lamination

Formulated for moderate press speeds (~150–250 m/min).

Designed for printing on polyester, polypropylene and similar films.

Adjustable chemistry for varied engraving (electronically or chemically engraved cylinders).

(c) General Reverse Print & Lamination Inks

Used for flexible packaging (snacks, chips, etc.).

Suitable for wide range of speeds and lamination systems.

Can be used with solvent based, solvent-less, or water-based adhesives.

(d) Multipurpose Solvent-Based Reverse Inks

Toluene-based or mixed solvent systems with high print quality, low solvent retention and good adhesion.

Appropriate for food packaging pouches that may undergo pasteurization or retorting.

(e) Solvent-Free / Low-Volatile Inks

Formulations designed to avoid toluene and ketone solvents.

Supports high-speed press operation and environmentally-sensitive applications.

Used for direct printing on the surface of films or paper where no lamination is required.

(a) PVC & Polymer Surface Print Inks

  • Designed for printing on PVC film for twist wrap and shrink sleeve applications.
  • Excellent adhesion, abrasion resistance and appropriate color strength at printing thickness

(b) Surface/Reverse Film Print Inks

  • Suitable for surface or reverse surface printing of PET and PVC films for non-laminating sleeves.

Flexographic Inks

Flexographic inks are a class of printing inks designed for flexographic or “flexo” printing, a high-speed relief printing process widely used in flexible packaging, labels, paper containers and other materials. Flexo inks are formulated for excellent printability, adhesion, and fast drying on a range of substrates including films, paper, and board. inks designed to fill engraved cylinder cells and deliver very thin, uniform ink films at very high printing speeds. They provide superior image quality and consistency, making them ideal for high-volume flexible packaging and premium print applications.

Solvent-Based Flexographic Inks

For printing on non-porous films and flexible packaging.

  • Reverse Lamination Flexo Inks – These inks are optimized for reverse flexographic printing on flexible films (e.g., polypropylene, polyester) followed by lamination. Formulated for medium to high press speeds, they balance fast drying, strong adhesion and robust lamination bond.
  • High-Strength Solvent Colors – Solvent ink systems with excellent stability and low retained solvents, offering strong bonds for both surface and reverse lamination print structures. Suitable substrates include treated polyester, corona-treated polyolefins, and coated films.

Typical applications: Snack bags, chips packs, flexible laminates requiring high lamination bond strength and solvent resistance

Designed for direct surface printing where lamination is not required.

  • Medium Performance Surface Flexo Inks – Formulations with good dot reproduction and high gloss for surface printing on treated polyethylene and polypropylene films at varying press speeds.
  • Heavy-Duty Surface Flexo Inks – Ink systems tailored for printing on pre-treated or woven polypropylene used in heavy-duty bags, with high scuff resistance and adhesion.
  • Basic Surface Flexo Film Inks – Simple solvent-reducible inks suitable for printing on polyolefin films at slow to medium press speeds.

Typical applications: Carrier bags, bread bags, film packaging where lamination is not involved.
