Industrial Packaging Inks Built Around Your Application

Packaging inks are not one-size-fits-all. Substrate, coating, print system, cure method, durability needs, color requirements, and end-use conditions all affect industrial inkjet ink selection. TROY helps customers evaluate standard and custom ink solutions for packaging applications across corrugated, coated paperboard, films, cartons, labels, product coding, and specialty substrates.

Food & Pharmaceutical Packaging Ink Applications

Food and pharmaceutical packaging applications require careful ink selection based on substrate, print method, packaging structure, migration considerations, and end-use requirements. TROY works with customers to evaluate the application and determine whether a standard or custom ink solution may be appropriate.

  • Low-Migration UV/LED-Curable Inks: Developed for select packaging applications where migration risk, curing, substrate compatibility, and print performance must be evaluated.
  • Water-Based LUNAJET Ink: Designed for certain packaging applications where water-based ink chemistry may be preferred based on material, process, and performance requirements.
