January 15, 2024 is an auspicious day! On this day, Kim, a member of Print Area, got married!

In 2023, there were many stories in Print Area.

Light fastness refers to the performance of UV flexo printing ink that its color does not fade under the action of sunlight. To master the lightfastness of various UV flexo inks, you must first understand the lightfastness level of each UV flexo ink, which is divided according to the BWS international standard. The BWS consists of 8 levels, from the lowest level 1 to the highest level 8. All UV flexo inks must be tested for lightfastness in a specific laboratory. To ensure that the printed matter can maintain bright colors for a long time.

On May 8, 2025, the Labelexpo Southeast Asia 2025 exhibition in Thailand, in which Print Area participated, officially started.

In March, Yangcheng is warm and full of flowers, and there is a lot of traffic. From March 2nd to 4th, the 2023 South China Printing Label Exhibition was underway, and the popularity of the audience continued unabated, and the popularity was still hot. There are a variety of products in the exhibition hall, and various leading technologies are eye-opening. There are hot scenes of looking at products, changing business cards, adding WeChat, talking about business, and talking about cooperation.

This year's Children's Day is different, because all the staff of Guangzhou Print Area & Foshan Yinya Company organized a trip to Gaoming County.

Global Printing Ink Industry Analysis — 2026 The global printing and packaging sector is undergoing profound and rapid transformation driven by aggressive green manufacturing policies, continuous high-speed production line upgrades, and increasingly stringent international safety and environmental compliance standards. As two irreplaceable core ink materials supporting commercial printing and industrial packaging manufacturing across the globe, offset ink and flexo ink together occupy over 70% of the entire global printing ink market share, serving countless printing factories, packaging manufacturers, brand enterprises, and international procurement teams worldwide. For industry practitioners and global buyers, systematically distinguishing the essential differences between offset ink and flexo ink is no longer merely a basic technical understanding, but a critical strategic step in controlling overall production costs, stabilizing finished product quality, improving market competitiveness, and meeting global environmental certification and food safety standards. Although both ink types are developed for color rendering, pattern reproduction and surface decoration in printing processes, they possess fundamental differences in physical properties, core chemical formulations, printing adaptation principles, drying and curing mechanisms, industrial production efficiency, final printing quality, substrate compatibility, environmental protection performance, and mainstream application scenarios. This in-depth professional industry guide systematically sorts out the core distinctions between these two mainstream printing inks, combines the latest 2026 global printing industry development trends, and provides targeted, practical selection suggestions for global industrial users. The content helps enterprises effectively avoid material selection errors, reduce defective product rates and unnecessary production losses, and optimize overall printing and packaging solutions to adapt to diversified international market demands.

Flexographic printing mainly uses 3 mainstream ink categories: water-based ink, solvent-based ink, UV/LED curable ink; EB ink & bio-based ink are niche options.
