Uv ink for natural food extra points

Nature's Benefits is a new kind of natural pet food similar to oats produced by Kaytee Products Co., Ltd of USA. It meets the needs of consumers who want to give their ornamental birds and small animals to feed natural products. The company has chosen this kind of carton packaging from The natural qualities of this oat are visually perceived. Aria Grant, artistic director of Directions Inc., a Kaytee design agency, said, “We want to design this package not only to make people feel that this cereal is crunchy but also environmentally friendly.” To achieve this creative vision, they It is packaged in a kraft carton and has a pastel-tone pattern design.

The box is printed using UV inks. The StrataGraph process used by Great Northern Inc. is grid-bottomed and can be printed using UV inks and UV-curable inks and coatings. "For the printing of Nature's Benefits box, we first applied a thin layer of white paint to the uncoated floor as an outline of the image," said Don Schroede, director of operations at Great Northern's StrataGraph.

“The white color coating makes the color of the whole package even better. When each color ink is printed on the bottom plate, the bottom plate is moved into a fast dryer. The dried ink is not absorbed by the cardboard. Instead, it forms a polymer that stands out on the surface of the paperboard and serves as the floor for the next coating. After printing, the top layer is pressed onto this paperboard."

“Even without seeing the product's name, Nature's Benefits, this is a purely natural product, just from the color and style of the packaging,” said Kay Thomson, marketing director at Kaytee Pet Bird. Nature's Benefits is currently available at Petsmart, Petco, and throughout the United States as an independent pet food retail store.
