DF Inks, the flexible packaging inks division of DRUCKFARBEN Group, is proud to announce the launch of its new website, a dedicated digital platform designed to provide converters, brand owners, and industry professionals with easier access to technical expertise, product information and sustainability resources. Offering a modern user experience focused entirely on the needs of the flexible packaging industry.
A Digital Hub for Flexible Packaging
Built around the DF Inks product portfolio and technical capabilities, the new website provides comprehensive information on:
- Solvent-based and water-based ink systems
- PU Ultima™ and PUX technologies
- UV Ultracure inks
- Primers, overprint varnishes, barrier coatings, and heat seal lacquers
- Industry-specific packaging applications
- Regulatory and sustainability developments
Visitors can also explore the wider DRUCKFARBEN Group ecosystem through links to the Group's other business divisions, KRAFT Paints and BIOCLIMA, while remaining within a platform dedicated to packaging inks and coatings.
Sustainability and Regulatory Readiness
As sustainability continues to reshape the packaging industry, the new website places a strong emphasis on environmental responsibility and regulatory compliance.
A dedicated sustainability section highlights the Groups’ approach to developing solutions that support recyclability, circular packaging design, and alignment with evolving European legislation, including the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).
Technical Knowledge at Your Fingertips
Beyond product information, the website serves as a knowledge-sharing platform for converters.
The newly introduced Troubleshooting Center provides practical guidance on common printing and converting challenges, helping customers optimize performance, improve efficiency, and reduce waste. Topics range from print defects and color consistency to adhesion, blocking, drying behavior, and process optimization.
By making technical expertise more accessible, DF Inks aims to support customers beyond the supply of inks and coatings, strengthening its role as a long-term technical partner.
Introducing the Ink Consumption Calculator
One of the most innovative features of the new website is the Ink Consumption Calculator, developed specifically for flexographic and rotogravure converters.
The online tool enables users to estimate theoretical ink consumption using key production parameters, including:
- Transfer rate
- Anilox or gravure cylinder engraving parameters
- Ink coverage
- Ink density
- Ink-to-solvent ratio
By incorporating real production variables, the calculator provides a practical and data-driven approach to production planning, helping converters improve cost estimation, inventory management and process efficiency.
The launch of the new website represents another step in DF Inks' strategy to combine technical expertise, sustainability, and digital innovation.
"As packaging requirements continue to evolve, access to reliable information and technical support becomes increasingly important," said a G. Karavasilis, Managing Director of DRUCKFARBEN Group. "The new website has been designed as a resource, bringing together product knowledge, sustainability insights and practical tools in one place."
