PU Ultima Ink Series: Revolutionizing Flexible Packaging Inks

In today’s fast-paced packaging industry, innovation, sustainability, and efficiency are key drivers of success. As consumer preferences and regulatory demands continue to evolve, flexible packaging converters require ink solutions that offer superior performance while supporting circular economy goals. The PU Ultima Ink Series, developed by DF Inks, is designed to meet these challenges, offering a high-performance polyurethane-based (PU) ink system optimized for rotogravure and flexographic printing.

Advanced Ink Systems for Modern Packaging Needs

The PU Ultima Ink Series introduces two cutting-edge ink systems:

• PUR
• PUF
• PUX

The ink systems are PVC & NC - free and engineered for high bond strength, superior printability, and reduced environmental impact. These inks are compatible with a wide range of substrates, including BOPP, PET, BiOPA, coated films, and more. Their formulation ensures that packaging maintains its integrity even under demanding conditions like pasteurization, sterilization, and wet wipe applications.

Key Benefits of the PU Ultima Ink Series

1. Exceptional Print Performance

• High-speed printing capabilities, approximately 500-600 meters per minute, optimizing production efficiency.
• Excellent adhesion across multiple substrates, ensuring print durability and consistency.
• Low solvent retention, improving drying times and minimizing odors.

2. Strong Lamination & Structural Integrity

• Optimized for high-bond strength lamination, enhancing packaging durability.
• Designed for multi-layer and complex packaging applications, maintaining graphic clarity and material integrity.

3. Sustainable & Circular Economy-Friendly

• PVC-free formulation, reducing environmental impact and improving recyclability.
• Improved compatibility with polymer recycling processes, supporting sustainability initiatives.
• Lower greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a reduced carbon footprint.

4. Resistance to Harsh Packaging Environments

• Engineered to withstand high temperatures and aggressive processing conditions.
• Ideal for food packaging and medical-grade applications requiring pasteurization and sterilization.
• Resilient to moisture, chemicals, and embossing, ensuring long-lasting package aesthetics.

The PU Ultima Ink Series is not just an innovation in ink technology; it represents a commitment to sustainability, efficiency and high-quality production. By integrating advanced chemistry with recyclability in mind, DRUCKFARBEN Group continues to set new benchmarks in the flexible packaging industry.

With its exceptional print quality, structural reliability and sustainability benefits, the PU Ultima Ink Series is the ultimate solution for converters aiming to achieve both operational efficiency and environmental responsibility. DRUCKFARBEN Group remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries of packaging ink technology, providing solutions that shape the future of flexible packaging.
