Flexographic ink, also known as flexo printing ink, is used in the printing of packaging materials such as cardboard boxes, packaged food, paper bags, plastic bags, and newspapers. There is an upsurge in demand for flexographic inks from the packaging industry due to the growing focus of manufacturers on the development of attractive packaging methods and materials for their products.

The demand for UV-curable inks has also increased on the back of continuous changes in environmental regulations, and growing awareness and rising concern toward improving the safety of packaged foods. Technological advancements in the field have reduced the risk of fading, delamination, and bubble formations, which is anticipated to further drive the demand for flexographic inks.The COVID-19 outbreak first began in Wuhan (China) in December 2019, and since then, it has spread at a fast pace worldwide.
