Radiation curable inks in the packaging category of the market

2016-03-24

According to Pira international and European Photochemistry Association latest research indicate: radiation curable ink in the scope of the market for packaging category will be during the period from 2011 to 2016 growth of 24% to reach 3.75 million tons; market value will arrive 8.83 billion US dollars, growth rate reached 60%. 

The radiation curable ink in the packaging industry in the future - the 2016 market and technology forecasts, the report on each of the information, end users, regions and countries in the market to predict the market. The report pointed out that ultraviolet and electron beam curing technology can bring a lot of advantages to the printing and packaging companies. This kind of printing ink and light oil or the coating can not only fast curing, to finishing set aside enough time, but also has a high gloss, can reduce the enterprise's application of special resin coated material in a certain level. Fast curing means to spread ink dot control at the minimum level, so as to ensure that the printing image of clear and bright. In addition, the curing of the ink film also has a good wear resistance and chemical resistance, can meet the customer's various application requests. 

UV ink jet printing is the fastest growing category in the market, and has a place in the label and packaging market. Studies have shown that the application of inkjet technology in labels, folding cartons and flexible packaging will adhere to the rapid growth of the situation before 2016, its output is expected to increase by 5 in 250% years after 2011. 

Pira international and European Photochemistry Association prediction, and in the printing industry as, digital printing will also to packaging industry bring enormous benefits, and UV ink in which the contribution should not be underestimated. In addition, the technique to the short version of the printing support can give brand owners bring greater consumption sensitivity and economic benefits, they can according to the product, the users, and the area of different consumer out different versions of the packaging, so as to open up a more broad market. 

UV label printing is growing very fast. At present, there are a lot of narrow range of printing system and the flexible version and electrostatic camera printing system to compete, some of the more powerful coding and marking the function of the system is also a vast number of users to provide a new choice. An increasing number of manufacturers have realized that printing is much more sensitive than buying a pre printed product. With consumption of continuous improvement, Pira international thought, UV inkjet complete may replace static pre printing technology in the field of label printing, blister packaging and carton printing. Taking the category as an example, the company has set up a number of printing systems with a total value of more than 4 million euros in the Atlantic, to assist in the production of small quantities of products in the pharmaceutical factory. This represents a more high-end market, the introduction of the Atlantic Cai Joseph's narrow UV printer price between 70 thousand euros to 500 thousand euros, but the configuration, speed and front-end system is slightly different. Although UV inkjet printing may hit some additional finishing cost, but under the condition usually, specification of the prepress processing system can also UV inkjet printing to stop the disposal.
