Inks and varnishes for flexible packaging
We produce solvent-based printing inks and varnishes for gravure and flexo printing in the packaging sector.
Our portfolio includes printing inks of different series, whereby a series means printing inks of the most varied colour shades with otherwise very similar properties. For each series we offer matching varnishes for thinning as well as overprint varnishes, heat-seal varnishes and specialities.
The properties of our ink series and varnishes depend on the intended application.
