3 kinds of environmentally friendly inks commonly used in packaging gift boxes

Ink is the most common in our life. Traditional ink includes main components (resin, colorant) and auxiliary components (fillers, diluents, diluents, anti-skinning agents, anti-offset agents, slip agents, other Auxiliary) composition. However, the pigments and additives in traditional inks contain a large amount of heavy metals such as lead and mercury, as well as aromatic hydrocarbon solvents commonly used in inks, which will be released into the air as the ink dries. These gases are very toxic and will cause great harm to human health. However, with the enhancement of human environmental awareness, the demand for environmentally friendly inks also increases. Let me introduce 3 kinds of environmentally friendly inks commonly used in gift packaging boxes to replace traditional inks.

UV ink

UV ink refers to an ink that can be dried and cured under the irradiation of ultraviolet rays by using ultraviolet rays of different wavelengths and energy. Since UV ink does not use solvents and cures very quickly, its pollution is almost zero during the printing process. Therefore, it is also a very environmentally friendly ink. In addition, UV ink has bright colors and excellent wear resistance, which can effectively improve the visual effect and service life of the packaging box.

water-based ink

Water-based ink is also often referred to as 'ink'. It is mainly processed by compound grinding of water-soluble resin, organic pigment, solvent and related additives. Since the water-based ink uses who as the dissolution carrier, there is almost no volatile gas produced, and it will not affect the environment. Therefore, water-based inks are often used as printing inks for packaging boxes with strict requirements for children's products, food, and medicine.

soy ink

Soybean oil is very common in our life, it can be dissolved in nature after decomposition, it is non-toxic and harmless. Compared with traditional inks, soybean inks are not only very environmentally friendly, but also have very good performances such as bright color, gloss, stability, and drying resistance. Soybean ink has been applied on a large scale in the United States, Japan and other countries, and the application of soybean ink in my country started relatively late. However, as people's awareness of environmental protection gradually increases, soy ink will gradually develop in the domestic market.

As the country vigorously promotes environmental protection, the trend of using environmentally friendly inks is becoming more and more obvious when customizing packaging boxes. Compared with traditional inks that can volatilize harmful gases, environmentally friendly inks will greatly reduce the pollution of inks to the environment.
