Our UV inks are a type of ink that cures instantly when exposed to ultraviolet light. Compared to traditional inks, they are solvent-free, dry quickly, and have strong print adaptability, delivering clear, high-gloss, and durable print results for flexographic printing.
Challenge: The client needed a fast-curing ink for their self-adhesive labels that would maintain vibrant color and be scratch-resistant in humid, cold environments.
Solution: We provided a customized flexo UV ink. Its instant curing significantly shortened the production cycle, while its excellent adhesion and water resistance ensured the labels remained beautiful and durable during cold storage and transit.
Challenge: The client had extremely high visual requirements for their packaging, needing high-definition, high-gloss, and non-flaking print on plastic soft tubes.
Solution: Our UV ink provided unparalleled gloss and color saturation, helping their products stand out on the shelf. Its powerful abrasion resistance also ensured the packaging remained pristine throughout daily use.
Challenge: The client's industrial product labels needed to withstand harsh environments, including exposure to oil, solvents, and friction, requiring the ink to have extreme durability.
Solution: Our specially formulated UV ink bonded firmly with the label substrate, forming a tough protective layer. This ensured that the product information remained clear and legible even under extreme conditions, greatly enhancing customer satisfaction.

UV ink cures instantly with UV light, is solvent-free, and dries extremely fast. It's primarily used on non-absorbent substrates like plastics. Water-based ink uses water as its main solvent and dries through evaporation, primarily used on absorbent substrates like paper. UV inks typically offer superior abrasion resistance and gloss.
Our UV ink formulations contain no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), meeting current strict environmental standards. They are an ideal choice for the printing industry to adopt green manufacturing practices.
Choosing the right UV ink depends on your printing substrate (e.g., PE, PET, PVC), printing equipment, and the final product's requirements for abrasion resistance and gloss. You can contact our expert team directly, and we will provide professional, customized recommendations based on your specific needs.
