PVC Ink for Paper & Plastic Surface Printing

PVC Matt gives a matte finish and is designed for paper surfaces — corrugated boxes, wedding cards, letterheads, and paper packaging. PVC Gloss gives a glossy finish and is designed for plastic surfaces — BOPP bags, LD plastic sheets, and plastic packaging. PVC Gloss can also be used on paper when a gloss finish is required.

PVC Ink works with screen printing, pad printing, and spray printing. It is most commonly used in flatbed and cylinder screen printing setups for both paper and plastic substrates.

The reducer grade depends on your workshop environment and the current season. Use Fast Reducer in cold or air-conditioned conditions, Medium Reducer for normal room temperature, and Slow Reducer in hot or humid environments such as Indian summers. If you are unsure, contact us with your city and workshop setup — we will recommend the exact grade.

PVC Gloss works well on BOPP bags and LD plastic. For other plastic substrates such as rigid PVC, ABS, or PP, a trial print is recommended before full production. Some surfaces may require surface treatment or a different ink formulation for best adhesion. Contact us before starting production on a new substrate.
