PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Reliable Water-Based Colour for Packaging Production
Printed packaging needs to do more than carry information. It must represent a brand clearly and reproduce consistently throughout a print run. Besco water-based inks are manufactured with a focus on strong colour appearance, adhesion, fast drying and stable batch performance.
Our catalog identifies water-based inks used in packaging applications, including flexographic and gravure printing processes. Actual compatibility should be evaluated against the machine, substrate, drying conditions and end-use requirement.

PRINTING PROCESS COMPATIBILITY
Developed for Flexographic and Gravure Applications
Besco’s catalog identifies water-based ink products for flexographic and gravure printing. Because equipment, substrate and drying capacity differ, formulation selection should take account of press speed, printing method, ink transfer system and the desired finished appearance.
Share these details with the Besco team so product selection can begin with your actual production conditions rather than a one-size-fits-all claim.
