Designed for soups, vegetables, sauces and drinks in aluminium and tin-free steel cans, our range of metal adhesion inks provide consistently clear coding. We produce a range of “off-the-shelf” inks designed for use with most printer brands and models in this sector, further to this you will find an expansive range of thermochromic inks (these change colour when cans have been steam sterilised).

GLASS BOTTLE INKS
As a global provider to many companies in this industry, you will find our inks to be highly effective, possess outstanding contrast and have superior adhesion on wet glass compared to most other brands. Our range is extensive with everything from white inks for darker backgrounds to removable inks for returnable bottles to exceptional invisible inks (nude) for traceability (only visible under UV) in a very diverse spectrum of colours.

CORRUGATED CASES AND CARTONS
With inks that which have excellent adhesion on even the most laminated of surfaces, our range provide excellent contrast and flexibility of application. We develop and produce fluids designed for high-resolution, large-character, small-character and micro-pigment printers as well as inks for more traditional labellers.

CIJ inks (Continuous Ink Jet)

We supply a wide range of CIJ Inks for a variety of printer makes and models. These fluids are designed and manufactured to the highest quality, that will meet or exceed the standards of the OEM fluids that they are designed to replace. We can supply these fluids in bulk or cartridges identical to those supplied by the OEMs including Willett, Linx, Videojet, Imaje, Hitachi and many more. Of course if none of the OEM inks or other compatible inks is able to satisfy your requirements, we will be delighted to discuss with you to develop a bespoke product meeting your specific application criteria.

Election Ink

ur election stains produce an indelible mark on human skin. The ink is specially formulated to safely leave a permanent stain, which cannot be easily removed (for up to 7 days typically), however our inks can be developed to your requirements.

The stain will disappear, once the top layer of stained skin has been shed, but until then, it is impossible to remove through traditional methods. This makes it ideal for combating electoral fraud as it enables voters to be easily identified.

Offering excellent resistance to water, solvents & bleaching agents, our election ink remains skin friendly and safe use by children.

The election ink range can also be used within hospitals, throughout vaccination programmes and applied to a multitude of other tasks where permanent, safe and effective skin marking is required.
