Solvent-Based Inks: A Cornerstone of Packaging Print Performance

Solvent-based inks continue to play a critical role in the packaging and print sector, particularly in applications where performance, durability, and production efficiency are essential. Their strong adhesion to non-porous substrates, fast drying times, and consistent colour strength make them indispensable across flexible packaging, labels, and industrial print environments.

While alternative ink technologies continue to develop, solvent-based systems remain the preferred choice for high-volume packaging operations where reliability and quality cannot be compromised. For brand owners and converters, this performance directly supports shelf appeal, brand integrity, and operational consistency.

At the same time, the ongoing use of solvent-based inks brings increasing complexity. Regulatory requirements, sustainability expectations, and workplace safety considerations all demand experienced leadership oversight. Organisations require executives who understand both the technical realities of packaging print and the broader strategic direction of the industry.
