In the evolving landscape of paper packaging and printing, environmental sustainability and premium texture have emerged as two core demands. For food gift boxes, how can we ensure safety while delivering a luxurious tactile experience? For creative paper products, how can we achieve a perfect balance between vibrant color presentation and eco-friendly principles to enhance product value? Zhongzhixing's water-based flexographic ink for paper has been developed to meet these challenges. With its paper-friendly formulation, it breaks new ground in environmental compliance and visual performance, enabling every sheet of paper to fully realize its sustainable commercial potential.

1. The Ultimate Solution for Paper Printing Pain Points: Comprehensive Adaptation of Water-based Technology

The unique fiber structure, ink absorption characteristics, and environmental requirements of paper pose stringent challenges for ink performance. Leveraging its professional R&D capabilities, Zhongzhixing has developed precise solutions for various paper printing scenarios, successfully addressing numerous issues.

No Bleed-through: Zhongzhixing's water-based flexo ink ensures even adhesion on coated paper, cardboard, corrugated paper, and other substrates, effectively preventing ink smudging. This results in clean, neat backsides with no bleed-through, enhancing print detail and overall quality.
Vibrant Colors: By intelligently matching high-purity pigments with paper whiteness, Zhongzhixing's ink expands the color gamut by 40%, enabling more accurate color reproduction. When reproducing Pantone spot colors, the color deviation is controlled within ≤0.5ΔE, meeting the stringent color requirements of luxury products and delivering vivid, lifelike color performance.
Enhanced Texture: The ink offers a variety of finishes, including matte, glossy, and skin-like textures, with no residual solvent odor. This not only imparts a natural, skin-friendly premium feel to paper products but also elevates the tactile experience for consumers, making printed materials more appealing.

2. Safety First: Comprehensive Protection from Food Packaging to Children's Paper Products
