Shrink Sleeve Flexo Inks

The shrink sleeve market is growing annually at a very rapid rate up to 15%. The shrink film producers are constantly making changes in their products to make them cheaper, more environmentally friendly and more efficient. Thus, the shrink film market for flexography and rotogravure printing offers large inventory of various ink chemistries for all kinds of films available. The purpose of this project was to develop a product that would print on different shrink sleeve films and exhibit excellent printability and end use properties such as adhesion, block resistance, shrinking ability with no change in optical properties, such as haze, and/or transparency.
