BOPP synthetic label paper can be printed using various types of inks, including the following:


1、 Chlorinated polyolefin composite ink

Chlorinated polyolefin composite ink is one of the main types of BOPP film gravure printing ink, occupying a certain market share. This ink has good adhesion and printing adaptability, which can meet the printing needs of BOPP synthetic label paper.


2、 UV plastic ink

UV plastic ink is an environmentally friendly ink developed in recent years, which can cure instantly, saving space and time. For BOPP synthetic label paper, UV ink has the following advantages:

Fast curing speed: The curing process can be completed in a short period of time, improving production efficiency.

Good environmental performance: no solvent volatilization or minimal volatilization, reducing pollution to the environment.

Strong adaptability: can be applied to various substrates, including BOPP synthetic label paper.

Specifically, BOPP synthetic label paper can usually be printed using UV primer ink, which has high adhesion, high coverage, and bending resistance, making it very suitable for use as a primer for flexographic UV printing.


3、 Water based and alcohol soluble ink

Water based and alcohol soluble inks are a type of environmentally friendly ink that gradually replace benzene based inks using water and alcohols as solvents. This ink has the following advantages:

Environmentally friendly and pollution-free: Due to the use of water and alcohols as solvents, there will be no pollution to the environment during use.

Good printing effect: It has good printing adaptability and dryness, which can meet the printing needs of BOPP synthetic label paper.


4、 Other types of ink

In addition to the above-mentioned inks, there are also other types of inks that can be used for printing BOPP synthetic label paper, such as acrylic and acrylic copolymer inks (mainly used for PVC film specific inks), polyurethane and polyester inks (mainly used for BOPA, PET film specific inks), and polyamide inks (mainly used for gravure surface printing inks). These inks have unique advantages in specific application scenarios.


In summary, BOPP synthetic label paper can be printed with various types of inks. The specific choice of ink needs to be comprehensively considered based on factors such as product characteristics, printing requirements, and environmental protection requirements. In practical applications, the most suitable ink type can be selected based on the conditions of the printing factory and customer needs.
