Plastic gravure ink market continues to grow

Plastic gravure printing ink is mainly used in the soft packaging printing of food and daily necessities. In recent years, the expansion of packaging printing has been the main reason for the increase of plastic gravure printing ink. Plastic gravure inks are mainly based on solvent-based inks, including surface-printed plastic inks and in-print (composite) plastic inks. New water-based inks are also being put into use. In China, the plastic gravure ink market is still in a period of steady growth. In plastic film printing, the uniqueness of gravure printing is unmatched by flexo printing. Therefore, many ink manufacturers are optimistic about the prospects for the development of plastic gravure printing ink. Everyone hopes that they can be assigned to a "cake."
After implementing the joint stock system, Zhejiang New Oriental Group is currently engaged in the production of plastic gravure printing inks and polyurethane adhesives. The ink varieties have been expanded to more than 30 varieties. New Oriental has been to highlight the product of personalized to meet the different types of customer packaging color printing. Different grades of requirements, so that the cost-effective optimization for the development direction. Mr. Ruan Yongyue, Technical Quality Department of New Oriental, said: "The current competition in the color printing market is very fierce.
