Sun Chemical Celebrates 30-Year Partnership with Skymark

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the partnership between Sun Chemical and UK packaging manufacturer Skymark. Sun Chemical has been the main inks supplier to Skymark since the company was established in 1987, supplying 95% of Skymark’s wet material including inks, lacquers and coatings for the flexible packaging market for food, hygiene, personal care and medical products, according to the companies.
 
As Skymark’s business has grown over the years, so has its requirements for inks. Today, Skymark has four printing presses, which are capable of printing up to 10 colors, with a combined print output of more than 45 million meters a month across a range of substrates including PE, OPP, laminates and paper.
 
“We have always had a close relationship with Sun Chemical, who has supported Skymark through the ups and downs of our business, none more so than when in 2009 we lost our main print facility due to a fire,” said Paul Neath, operations director, Skymark Packaging Limited.
