Our Range of Water-Based Ink Receiving Layers
The FOLCO DIGITAL products meet even higher requirements such as UV stability, flame retardancy, and scratch resistance.
The packaging and food industry is undergoing a transformation: the demand for sustainable, recyclable packaging solutions is increasing. However, effective barrier protection against oils, fats, or water remains essential, especially for packaging papers and cartons. These are often laminated with film, which can significantly complicate or even prevent recycling.
Follmann has the solution: Our water-based barrier coatings for gravure and flexographic printing are specially designed for paper and cardboard packaging.
End products can be comprehensively and easily recycled, while still offering excellent protection against oils, fats, and water. They not only meet regulatory requirements but also meet the highest standards for premium print results. This makes a vital contribution to sustainability.
Our water-based textured printing inks can be printed using rotary screen printing and gravure printing on paper, nonwovens, and films. They create attractive, visible, and tactile 3D effects on wallpapers, decorative films, gift wraps, and many other applications. These inks are lightfast, temperature-stable, washable, and abrasion-resistant.
The foam height can be individually adjusted with our foam concentrates. Benefit from our services: we offer analytics, colorimetrics, and on-site process optimization, as well as solutions and cost-saving opportunities for reusing leftover inks.
Your Benefits:
- Visible and tactile 3D effects
- Lightfast and temperature-stable
