THE INK. THE APPLICATION.

Made for the way you print.

Flexographic printing brings color to everyday packaging, from a label on a bottle to a printed bag or carton. Choosing an ink starts with that finished item and the press that produces it. Jazeera Inks supplies printing inks for customers looking to connect their color requirements with the practical needs of production.

Application starting points

  • Labels and roll-fed packaging
  • Paper bags and corrugated packaging
  • Flexible film applications

Product suitability depends on the specific ink, substrate and production conditions. Share your application to discuss available options.

A CONSIDERED APPROACH

It starts with
your application.

The surface sets the starting point

Paper, board and film present different printing conditions. Share the exact material, any surface treatment and whether the ink will remain exposed or become part of a laminated structure.

Match the ink to the press

Include your press model, current ink system, anilox details and drying setup. These details make an enquiry more useful than selecting an ink by color alone.

Define the finished impression

Tell us about the artwork, target shade, desired finish and handling requirements. A printed reference is especially useful when discussing a repeat job or replacing an existing ink.

BEFORE YOU ORDER

A little more clarity.

Useful answers to help you prepare your next ink enquiry.

Are flexographic inks always water-based?

No. Flexography is a printing process; water-based and solvent-based describe ink systems. The appropriate system depends on the substrate, press configuration and application. Include your existing system when enquiring.

What should I send with a flexographic ink enquiry?

Send the substrate specification, press details, color reference, current ink information and expected order quantity. Mention whether the work involves labels, paper packaging or film, and any finishing operations after printing.

Can I order ink for an existing production job?

Contact us with the current product reference and job requirements to discuss availability. Confirm the proposed product information and evaluate it under your own press conditions before changing a production ink.
