Cup printing

Printing ink systems for cup printing

We offer high-quality printing ink systems for printing on plastic cups and work with them to develop customer-specific solutions that meet the requirements placed on color performance and packaging functionality throughout the entire production process.

Typical applications for this series are plastic tubs for yoghurt, margarine or buttermilk. Thanks to the high color strength and low dot gain, bright colors with excellent image reproduction can be achieved that stand out on store shelves.
