High-Performance Ink Solutions for Shrink Bags
Optimized for Food Packaging Durability, Adhesion, and Resistance
In the world of Shrink Bags printing, selecting the right ink is crucial to ensuring print quality, durability, and compliance with food packaging regulations. Shrink Bagsand stretch films require inks that can withstand significant changes in shape, exposure to heat, and various processing conditions while maintaining strong adhesion, vibrant colors, and resistance to external factors.
At Resino Inks, we have developed three specialized ink series tailored to meet these challenges:
- REFLEX® 138-03 – For high Shrink Bags and stretch applications.
- REFLEX® 138-04 – Designed for high heat-seal resistance.
- RETURIN® 2K Solution – The best option for extreme processing conditions, including pasteurization, sterilization and freezing.
Each series offers specific advantages depending on the requirements of your Shrink Bags production. Read on to explore their unique properties and applications.
REFLEX® 138-03 – Flexible and Versatile for Shrink Bags Packaging
For applications requiring high Shrink Bags performance, REFLEX® 138-03 is an ideal solution. This alcohol-based flexographic ink is developed specifically for Shrink Bags used in meat, cheese, and other food packaging applications.
One of the standout features of REFLEX® 138-03 is its ability to maintain adhesion and gloss even when the material undergoes significant shrinkage. This ensures that branding, product information, and other printed elements remain clear and intact after packaging.
Additionally, REFLEX® 138-03 offers medium heat resistance, making it suitable for moderate heat exposure during the packaging process. It provides a balance between flexibility and durability, ensuring the print remains stable while adapting to Shrink Bags deformation.
REFLEX® 138-04 – High Heat Resistance for Demanding Applications
When Shrink Bags are exposed to high temperatures, whether during heat sealing or processing, ink performance can be compromised. The REFLEX® 138-04 series is developed to withstand extreme heat while maintaining superior print quality.
This alcohol-based flexographic ink ensures excellent adhesion on Shrink Bags and provides high heat-seal resistance, making it ideal for Shrink Bags packaging solutions that undergo intense heat treatment.
With high shrink capability, the ink allows for premium print appearance even after shrinkage, ensuring sharp, vibrant colors and clear graphics.
RETURIN® 2K Solution – The Ultimate Choice for Sterilization & Deep-Freezing
For food packaging applications that demand extreme resistance, such as pasteurization, boiling, sterilization, and deep freezing, our RETURIN® 2K Solution is the best choice.
This two-component ink system is designed to handle harsh processing environments where traditional inks may degrade or lose adhesion.
Key Advantages of RETURIN® 2K Solution
✔ Boiling & Sterilization Resistance – Maintains adhesion and print quality even under high-temperature sterilization processes.
✔ Deep Freeze Resistance – Ensures print durability at extremely low temperatures.
✔ High Flexibility – Adapts to film stretching without cracking or flaking, providing consistent and reliable print performance.
✔ Strong Adhesion – Bonds Adheres well with to various Shrink Bags materials, ensuring print remains intact through processing and storage.
✔ Oil & Grease Resistance – Prevents ink degradation when in contact with fatty and oily foods, ensuring long-lasting readability of product information.
Choosing the Right Ink for Your Shrink Bags Application
Each ink series offers distinct benefits depending on the specific demands of your Shrink Bags or flexible food packaging application. Below is a comparison of their core properties:
Ink Series | Shrink & Stretch | Heat Resistance | Adhesion | Special Features |
REFLEX® 138-03 | High | Medium | Excellent | Ideal for food shrink bags with moderate heat exposure. |
REFLEX® 138-04 | High | High | Excellent | Designed for high heat-seal resistance, ideal for demanding packaging environments. |
