Description

Water Based Flexographic Inks

Water Based Flexographic Inks are eco-friendly printing inks specially formulated for use on flexographic presses, ideal for printing on absorbent substrates such as paper, corrugated board, kraft paper, cardboard, and tissue.

They are made with high-quality pigments dispersed in a water-based vehicle with minimal volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them safer for operators and better for the environment compared to solvent-based inks.

Key Features:

  • Eco-Friendly: Low-VOC, meets environmental regulations.
  • Excellent Printability: Smooth, consistent coverage with sharp images.
  • Vibrant Colors: Available in a wide range of standard and custom colors.
  • Easy Clean-Up: Water-based — no harsh solvents needed for cleaning.
  • Ideal for Absorbent Substrates: Performs best on paper, board, and tissue.
  • Good Adhesion & Rub Resistance: Durable finish for packaging applications.
  • Fast Drying: Suitable for high-speed production lines.

Typical Applications:

  • Corrugated cartons
  • Kraft shopping bags
  • Paper cups & plates
  • Tissues & napkins
  • Food packaging (where allowed)
