The Trend of Water-Based Inks for Sustainable Packaging Production

Adopting water-based inks is a fundamental step to eliminate Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) emissions, satisfying global ESG criteria and labor safety regulations. 1. What are Water-Based Inks? Why are they Eco-Friendly? Water-based inks utilize water as the primary solvent vehicle, completely replacing toxic petroleum-derived organic solvents: Near-Zero VOC Emissions: Because the carrier liquid is pure water, drying occurs through water evaporation and fiber absorption, releasing zero harmful vapors into the factory atmosphere. Food-Contact and Child-Safe Packaging: Free of heavy metal pigments and harsh chemical odors, water-based inks comply with strict international food-contact packaging standards and child safety audits. Higher Recyclability Rates: Since water-based pigments easily dissolve and separate from paperboard pulp in warm hydrapulper mills, production scrap and post-consumer waste from these printed boxes are highly valued by containerboard mills. 2. Technical Challenges and Press Solutions at Tien Thanh A&E Although environmentally superior, water-based inks require precise press engineering due to water's slower evaporation rate compared to oil solvents: Automated Hot Air Drying Hoods: Tien Thanh A&E operates steam-heated drying hoods between the color decks of our high-speed 7-color flexographic printer, drying the ink instantly before sheets advance to prevent color smearing. pH Level Monitoring: The pH level of water-based ink dictates color dispersion and bonding consistency.

Best Practices for Raw Paper Roll Storage to Prevent Moisture Damage

Proper storage of industrial paper rolls is crucial to preserving cellulose fiber strength, ensuring high-speed corrugating efficiency and box load durability. 1. Handling and Stacking Rules for Kraft Paper Rolls To shield heavy paperboard rolls from physical damage and ambient moisture absorption, Tien Thanh A&E's warehouse operates under strict storage protocols: Vertical Stacking: Giant kraft paper rolls (weighing 1.5 to 2.5 tons) are stored vertically rather than horizontally. Vertical storage distributes the massive weight evenly along the inner core, preventing deformation and flat spots. Off-Floor Pallet Storage: Rolls are placed on heavy-duty acacia or pine wood pallets (ISPM-15 compliant), elevating them at least 20cm above the concrete warehouse floor to block capillary moisture rise. Wall Clearance: A minimum gap of 50cm is maintained between rolls and warehouse brick walls, ensuring proper airflow and preventing rainwater seepage contacts. 2. Environmental Controls: Humidity and Temperature (Warehouse HVAC) Relative humidity (RH) is the primary threat to stored paperboard raw materials: Optimal Humidity Target: Indoor warehouse humidity is regulated between 50% and 65% RH, with temperature kept at 20 - 30°C. Smart IoT Environmental Sensors: Wireless sensors transmit atmospheric humidity statistics to our smart factory system. If moisture levels exceed 70% RH, automatic ventilation fans turn on to purge excess moisture, preventing paperboard mold growth. Pest and Vermin Control: Regular eco-friendly biological fumigation is conducted across the warehouse to eliminate rodents and termites that target cellulose fibers. 3. Rigorous Fire Prevention Standards (PCCC) Paper is highly combustible, requiring Tien Thanh A&E to employ active fire safety measures: Automatic wet-pipe sprinkler systems cover the entire warehouse area. Thermal fire barriers separate the paper roll storage hangars from the active BHS corrugator production floors. ---
