Packaging inks and coatings are materials used in the printing of packaging materials, such as labels, cartons, and bags. These materials are specially formulated to provide high-quality printing, durability, and protection to the packaged product.

Inks and coatings for packaging can be classified into several categories based on their composition, including solvent-based, water-based, UV-cured, and electron-beam-cured inks and coatings. Each type has its own unique properties and benefits.
Solvent-based inks and coatings are composed of solvents that evaporate during the drying process, leaving a solid layer of pigment and binder on the surface of the packaging material. They are known for their excellent adhesion and durability, but are also associated with high VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions.
Water-based inks and coatings are made with water as the main solvent, which makes them more environmentally friendly than solvent-based products. They have lower VOC emissions and are easier to clean up. However, they can be less durable and may require a longer drying time.
UV-cured inks and coatings are cured by exposure to ultraviolet light, which causes a chemical reaction that hardens the ink or coating. They are known for their fast curing time and durability, but can be more expensive than other types of inks and coatings.
Electron-beam-cured inks and coatings are cured by exposure to an electron beam, which also causes a chemical reaction that hardens the ink or coating. They offer similar benefits to UV-cured products, but are more commonly used in high-end printing applications.
In addition to their composition, packaging inks and coatings can also be formulated to provide specific features, such as antimicrobial properties, scratch resistance, and matte or glossy finishes. These features can help to enhance the appearance and functionality of the packaging, and can also provide added protection to the packaged product.
