Formulation, color matching and private-label manufacturing backed by 30,000-ton annual capacity and ΔE < 0.8 precision. Built around your press.

Sample Dispatch & Press Trials

Sample Dispatch & Press Trials

Fast 48-hour customized sampling service for laboratory verification and press trials. Formulated to your exact substrate (BOPP, PET, paper, PVC, metallized film) and press speed (up to 400 m/min). Dispatched worldwide with spectrophotometer test reports (ΔE < 0.8), drawdowns, and comprehensive Technical Data Sheets (TDS / MSDS).

Customization & Spot Color

Customization & Spot Color

Bespoke water-based and UV ink formulation engineered for complex packaging substrates. Utilizing Datacolor & X-Rite spectrophotometry to guarantee tight color tolerances (ΔE < 0.8 batch-to-batch). Engineered for 'zero-cylinder-change & zero-oven-modification' water-based conversion.

Talk to our Color Lab

From first enquiry to delivered batch — engineered for zero press modification

  1. Technical Enquiry & Substrate Analysis

    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.

  2. Lab Formulation & Spectrophotometry

    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.

  3. Sampling & Pressroom Verification

    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.

  4. Commercial Scale Production & QA

    Step 4Commercial Scale Production & QA

    Automated blending across our 3 production hubs delivering 30,000+ tons annual capacity. Every drum is released with certified CoA, VOC screening records, and complete end-to-end batch traceability.

OEM / Private Label Manufacturing

OEM / Private Label Manufacturing

End-to-end contract and private-label ink manufacturing under your own brand. Supported by our 3 state-of-the-art production hubs (Dongguan HQ, Kunming Southwest hub, Yueyang Central China park) spanning 30,000+ metric tons of annual capacity. We manage formulation replication, precision blending, automated drumming, private-label branding, and export logistics.

Quality Control & Compliance

QC — Incoming material control

QC — Incoming material control

Every shipment of pigments, water-based resins, and specialty additives undergoes strict physicochemical analysis — solid content, purity, fineness, viscosity, and heavy-metal screening (RoHS/REACH compliance) — before entering automated batching silos.

QC — Batch release testing

QC — Batch release testing

100% of finished ink batches are measured on calibrated spectrophotometers against retention master standards. Release criteria mandate ΔE < 0.8 (ΔE < 0.5 for premium cigarette/cosmetics packaging), accompanied by signed CoA & spectral certificates.

QC — Color matching lab

QC — Color matching lab

Equipped with high-precision benchtop spectrophotometers, automatic ink proofers, and standard D65/D50 light booths. Our R&D team completes custom spot matches within 24-48 hours, ensuring seamless repeatability across multi-ton recurring orders.

QC — Performance & compliance

QC — Performance & compliance

Rigorously tested to international standards: 3M 610 cross-hatch tape adhesion (0% delamination, ASTM D3359), Sutherland rub abrasion test (1,000+ rubs, ASTM D5264), Blue Wool lightfastness scale grade 7-8, and ultra-low VOC emissions exceeding national green standards (GB/T 38597 / China Environmental Labelling Ten-Ring Certification).

On-Site & Remote Technical Support

On-Site & Remote Technical Support

Dual-track engineering support tailored for seamless pressroom operation. We deliver responsive online remote guidance (real-time viscosity adjustment, pH balancing, and drying-curve troubleshooting) alongside dispatching senior application engineers for on-site press commissioning, trial qualification, and press-side training. We specialize in water-based conversion with 'no cylinder remake and no drying tunnel retrofit required,' maximizing press throughput and run predictability.
