The flexible packaging experts at Wikoff Color have recently developed a high-performance laminating white that exhibits outstanding opacity levels. Compass Ultra White will provide several significant advantages to flexible packaging converters:

•  Very high opacity relative to competitive flexographic laminating white inks.
•  Excellent ink transfer, combined with very low solvent retention.
•  Superior hiding properties over challenging metallized substrates.
•  Exceptional adhesive laminating bonds.
•  Able to reduce white application volumes by up to 50% and achieve competitive opacity to current products.
•  Significant saving potential of 30-50% through reduced coating weights at similar application viscosities.
