UVS 1000 · Texture — Technical Specifications & Application Guidelines

Production Description

The UVS-1000 Texture family comprises 10 precision-engineered UV screen effect formulations. Engineered specifically for high-end tobacco packs, liquor cartons, and luxury folding gift boxes, these specialty inks produce dramatic surface relief finishes including crystalline snowflakes, granular abrasive sand textures, and rich tactile wrinkle patterns without compromising press runnability.

Advantages & Characteristics

Diverse surface optical and tactile textures: micro-fine to coarse crystal snowflakes, satin to coarse sand, and 3D wrinkle reliefs.
100% solvent-free UV photocurable chemistry with ≥97% solids content, zero VOCs, and compliance with YC/T 207 standards.
Superior anchorage on coated paperboard, metallized transfer paper, and corona-treated BOPP/PET synthetic films.
Exceptional mechanical resistance: high scuff and rub resistance protecting luxury packaging during downstream conversion.

Typical Application

Luxury cigarette cartons and hard packs requiring high-contrast anti-counterfeiting optical frost effects.
High-end spirits, Baijiu, and wine gift boxes requiring distinctive tactile sand or vintage wrinkle aesthetics.
Boutique cosmetic outer boxes, perfume gift packaging, and premium consumer electronics packaging.

The laboratory parameters published above reflect standard benchmark batches tested under controlled baseline conditions. In industrial pressrooms, coating performance is governed by multiple variables—including anilox screen volume and cylinder cell depths (15–45 μm), drying tunnel length and airflow dynamics, substrate surface tension, and seasonal workshop temperature/humidity fluctuations, alongside solvent-to-water transition requirements.

Backed by our National "Little Giant" R&D Center and Provincial Engineering Laboratories, HCOLOR offers on-demand formula recalibration. Our ink chemists fine-tune resin matrices, viscosity curves (15–45s), evaporation rates, and functional additives to seamlessly adapt to your plant's printing presses. HCOLOR application specialists also provide on-site press trial verification and remote spectrophotometric support, ensuring stable transfer and high runnability without risking production downtime.

From Substrate & Press Analysis to Scaled Production

A rigorous 4-step engineering protocol designed to adapt custom resin matrices and viscosity windows to your exact pressroom specifications.

Step 1Technical Enquiry & Substrate Analysis
Tell us your substrate (BOPP, CPP, PET, PE, PVC, Kraft paper, gold/silver cardstock), press type (rotogravure, flexo, screen), line speed (150-400 m/min), drying tunnel specs, and target color standards.
Step 2Lab Formulation & Spectrophotometry
Our senior ink chemists formulate eco-friendly water-based resin matrices and disperse high-purity pigments, achieving precise color coordinates (L*a*b*) under standard D50/D65 illuminants with ΔE < 0.8 spectral accuracy.
Step 3Sampling & Pressroom Verification
We dispatch 1-5 kg trial ink lots within 48h alongside detailed drawdowns and viscosity guidance. Our application engineers provide remote or on-site support to optimize ink transfer, drying speed, and adhesion.
Step 4Scaled Production & Global Logistics
Backed by Dongguan, Kunming, and Yueyang production bases (30,000+ tons annual capacity), orders undergo strict QC batch release before dispatch in palletised 20kg/200kg drums or 1000kg IBCs via sea/air freight.
