Flexible packaging printers: go ‘water-based’ – and get sustainable!
Dear ,
Welcome to our fourth InkConnection newsletter! This month, we’re highlighting how ink logistics improves sustainability in flexible packaging and introducing a ‘basics' blog series.
GSE teams up with PRETHINK INK network
Advances in water-based inks present a great opportunity for flexible packaging converters to become more sustainable.
The latest water-based flexo and gravure inks offer the same excellent print quality as solvent inks, but are eco-friendlier, safer to use and less costly to manage.
We have teamed up with the PRETHINK INK network – a group of printing industry suppliers promoting water-based inks to flexible packagers. With our expertise in ink logistics, we are ready to help converters make a smooth move to waste-free water-based processes, based on Lean principles.
Ink logistics basics series
There’s lots to learn about managing ink and achieving colour – consider the many variables affecting printing quality, the complex workflow, or the software developments. That’s why our support engineer, Fokke Verbeek, has launched a series of articles that teach the basics of ink logistics. Whether you’re new to packaging, or you’re an experienced printer wanting to refresh your memory, we’re sure this series will be invaluable.
New subscribers to InkConnection may have missed our ‘Lean manufacturing’ series. We’re including our Cost Iceberg article about the total costs of ink once more – see the full series on our website.
For any comments or questions, please contact us on email info@gsedispensing.com or telephone +31 575 568 080.
We wish you pleasant and profitable reading!

Marketing Director, GSE
