Water-Based Flexo Ink for Paper Bag Printing — TWG-WB-FLP

The TWG-WB-FLP is a water-based flexo ink from TriWill Group, specifically formulated for paper bag printing on flexographic presses. As sustainability requirements drive the shift from plastic to paper packaging in the US market, water-based flexo inks have become the standard for paper bag, paper sack, and kraft packaging printing applications.

TWG-WB-FLP delivers vibrant color, excellent adhesion to kraft and paper substrates, and fast water-evaporation drying — making it the reliable choice for US paper bag converters and packaging printers operating wide-format flexo lines.

Key Features

• Low VOC Emissions: Better workplace safety and air quality compliance than solvent alternatives.
• Excellent Adhesion: Strong bonding to kraft and paper bag substrates.
• Vibrant Print Quality: Good color vibrancy and print sharpness on paper surfaces.
• Sustainability Aligned: Supports US brand owner commitments to lower environmental impact packaging.
• Converting Compatible: Works with downstream folding, gluing, and handle attachment operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is water-based flexo ink?

Water-based flexo ink uses water as its primary carrier solvent rather than organic solvents, drying through evaporation accelerated by hot air dryers on the flexo press.

Is water-based flexo ink suitable for food packaging?

Water-based flexo inks can be used for food packaging paper and board applications when the correct formulation is selected. Contact TriWill Group for guidance on suitable formulations.

Can TWG-WB-FLP achieve the same print quality as solvent ink?

On paper and kraft substrates, TWG-WB-FLP achieves excellent print quality. For non-porous plastic film substrates, solvent-based or UV inks are generally required.

What flexo press equipment is TWG-WB-FLP compatible with?

TWG-WB-FLP is compatible with standard water-based flexo press equipment including ceramic anilox systems and hot air drying units.
