Emerging Trends Boosting the Solvent-Based Inks Market
Innovations are a key focus among solvent-based inks companies, with special attention to meeting regulatory requirements and addressing increasing demand for safe, high-performance packaging materials. One notable development is the introduction of food-safe ink series, designed to be non-toxic and suitable for direct or indirect contact with food packaging.
For example, in August 2023, Germany's Hubergroup launched three new solvent-based ink collections for the Asian market: Gecko Platinum Plus, Gecko Platinum NT, and Gecko Gold. The first two are polyurethane-based, while Gecko Gold is a hybrid vinyl series, all formulated without toluene. These inks provide a wide color range, long run length, superior print quality, and compliance with food safety standards, making them ideal for flexible packaging, sustainable printing, and safe food packaging applications throughout Asia.
