Printing inks are growing in the market for dairy packaging applications

The rapid development of the dairy industry, and the improvement of the quality of dairy packaging, will certainly stimulate the development of printing inks in the direction of high quality and non-toxic.

For milk powder packaging and printing inks, the direction of future technology development will be benzene-free inks. With the improvement of people's environmental protection and health awareness, such inks are likely to become the mainstream of printing inks in the coming years. In addition, some ink manufacturers are currently researching more environmentally friendly water-based plastic printing inks and have already entered the trial printing stage.

Liquid dairy packaging printing inks differ in the characteristics of liquid dairy packaging materials. Paper-plastic aluminum or paper-plastic materials are the main packaging materials for aseptic packaging of dairy beverages. In the near future, the printing of paper-plastic aluminum or paper-plastic packaging materials will be the first to achieve full water-based ink printing. PE film and co-extruded PE film packaging printing inks have been replaced by polyurethane type surface printing inks in recent years.

In the development of inks from benzene-solvent inks to benzene-free inks, based on the availability of water-based printing ink products, the era of dairy packaging printing inks entering benzene-free inks and water-based inks is not far off.
