Corrugated carton water ink prices held steady

The proportion of corrugated cartons flexographic printing in China is increasing, and the amount of water-based environmental protection inks is increasing. Domestic ink manufacturers have invested in the production of ink and wash, and many ink production companies with good product quality, high management level, and good technical service have established offices in various regions in the country to provide users with local and timely technical services, and therefore have won Part of the market share. However, the inks of most manufacturers are produced in the original factory, and then transported to the office, and then delivered according to the customer's order quantity. Because of the rise in the price of oil, the increase in transportation costs has had an adverse effect on the cost control of inks and the decline in prices. The price of ink has been fluctuating slightly. In some large carton enterprises, the amount of ink is very high, and the ink is dominated by high-end and mid-range products. Due to the relatively stable partnership with ink manufacturers, the slight increase in the general ink price will not be implemented among these large customers.

China has a very wide geographical area. In terms of corrugated cartons manufacturing efficiency, technological level, new equipment, and new technology capabilities, the north is lower than the south, and ink manufacturers are also more in the south; while the northern producers of water-based inks are mainly Guangdong Tianlong Ink Co. Beijing's enterprises: Beijing Tianhong Ink, Tianjin Toyo Ink, and Beijing Tianhong Ink Wash occupy the largest share in the northern ink painting market. Now that there are many excellent ink manufacturers in the south that have entered the northern market, carton manufacturers have more choices, and generally newly-developed suppliers will have an advantage in terms of price, and they will be able to obtain quality and cheap products. In general, the price of ink remained steady and unchanged. The current basic prices are as follows (different manufacturers' products and purchase quantities will have different specific prices):

High-grade ink: 25 yuan/kilogram mid-range ink: 15 yuan/kilogram low-grade ink: 8 yuan/kilogram

At present, domestic high-grade water-based inks have imported products and imported inks and domestic production of ink products. Compared with foreign products, we have a certain gap, especially the printing speed of machines is getting faster and faster, the color requirements are getting higher and higher, water-based inks The quality has yet to be improved and there is great room for development. The demand for high-grade ink will also increase. I believe the price will decline, but the rate will be small.
