Rotary Screen Ink

Method frequently used for the printing of labels to increase production rates. Rotary screen printing requires an ink with a lower viscosity than with flat screen printing.
VFP Ink Technologies offers two opaque whites dedicated to rotary screen printing  (one of which allows better overprinting in offset and flexography) as well as the UV RELR relief varnish.
It is possible to use our UVRELCOL varnish as a tinting base to achieve tinted relief varnishes and doming effects.
This method also allows the use of metallic tones with a dedicated stencil.

Glossy Finish Label

Labels are an informative and an effective marketing tool that plays a key role in enhancing brands and products. Each and every detail of a label has to be designed with great care. Innovation and distinction make a label stand out but equally essential is its finish.

VFP Ink Technologies offers a wide range of inks which provide glossiness and protection specifically made for labels. Always exploring new technologies to respond to its customer’s needs, VFP Ink Technologies created the UVILABEL range to offer an easy to use and performant product for both professional and Industrial printing.

UVILABEL is a high gloss UV ink, up to 95% (according to ISO 2813), that is dedicated to the label market for rotary and flatbed screen printing machines. 

UVILABEL offers a high chemical resistance to protect the colors and design of labels. It is the perfect finish ink for labels in cosmetics, beverages, industrial packaging and every other application which requires a glossy finish aspect.

UV technology avoids VOC and therefore has no impact on the environment and the health of operators.

Mat Finish Label

Labels are an informative and an effective marketing tool that plays a key role in enhancing brands and products. Each and every detail of a label has to be designed with great care. Innovation and distinction make a label stand out but equally essential is its finish.

VFP Ink Technologies offers a wide range of inks which provide several finishes. LABELMAT has been specifically designed for labels with a matte finish. Mostly used in the wine and luxury goods sectors, LABELMAT combines high contrast, finesse and elegance to every label designed with flatbed screen printing machines.

LABELMAT is a matte UV ink (10% in glossy scale according to ISO 2813). It can also be mixed with the UVILABEL range to obtain a satin luster finish while offering a strong scratch resistance.

UV technology avoids VOC and therefore has no impact on the environment and the health of operators.

Soft Touch Varnish

Printing a soft touch varnish on labels, packaging, cards or any other products is one of the special effects that adds value to the final product. Soft touch varnish is not only a great tool for emotional marketing but also a way of distinguishing a brand or a product from the competition. Adding soft touch varnish on Champagne, wine labels or luxury packaging personalises and underlines a brand while enhancing the consumer experience.

VFP Ink Technologies developed a UV Water based varnish with soft touch effect for flatbed screen printing machines.

Major advantages are matte effect, scratch resistance and anti finger marks. It also allows hot stamping and overprinting. UV water based Soft Touch varnish offers many opportunities to get great special effects.

Braille and relief varnish

 

Touch sensitive varnish allows a brand to enhance specific information on their products.

With its different uses, braille and relief varnishes give endless possibilities and provide a   fantastic tool for designers and printers to let their inspiration flow. You just have to think about what brand image you want to project or how you want your product to look and the braille and relief varnishes will make your product stand out above the crowd. For example, adding a braille varnish on the label of a product not only intensifies the tactile experience but also targets the detail you want to underline. It offers elegance and a wonderful glossy effect.

VFP Ink Technologies manufactures braille and relief UV decorative varnishes for flatbed and rotary screen printing machines. (UVRELEX, UVRELR).

A breakthrough product, UVRELCOL, from VFP Ink Technologies offers another efficient option to color and make relief simultaneously. UVRELCOL comes in 11 basic colors (orange, golden yellow, lemon yellow, green, violet, cyan, red, carmin, pink, black). Metallic colors are also available.

Time saving, better precision and improved quality make UVRELCOL the perfect product for braille and relief printing.

Metallic Ink

Special effects in screen printing and in various ink applications are some of the secrets to add comparative advantages to final products. VFP Ink Technologies provides a wide range of metallic inks (gold, silver, bronze) in UV and in UV water based technology. Our inks are specifically designed to get the best simulation of metal colors with small shiny flakes. Metallic inks and special effects are usually printed on bank or plastic cards but are also frequently applied on luxury labels and luxury packaging. To get a comparative advantage  in Industrial printing or in graphic printing, designers have the option to integrate special effects like metallic inks in their creations.

VFP Ink Technologies is a pioneer at creating two special effects with one product. With our range of UVRELCOL varnishes, it is now possible to print a metallic colour (gold, silver) and make relief simultaneously. This cutting edge technique not only makes a product unique but is more efficient.
