Flexo UVSS Series

The Supercolor UVSS Series Flexographic UV Ink is a high-performance UV-curable system specifically developed for shrink sleeve label printing. Formulated for exceptional flexibility, strong adhesion, and superior print quality, the UVSS Series eliminates the need for primers or protective varnishes, delivering both visual excellence and functional durability for premium packaging.

Designed to meet the demands of shrinkable film substrates, the UVSS Series maintains film integrity and ink adhesion even under shrinkage rates up to 75%. 

This makes it the ideal solution for full-body labels and 360° brand decoration, ensuring consistent appearance across complex container shapes. With outstanding scuff resistance, low dot gain, and sharp image reproduction, it supports stable, one-pass printing of both solids and fine details.

By simplifying production workflows through primer-free and varnish-free performance, UVSS helps printers reduce material costs, streamline processes, and achieve high efficiency in demanding, high-value shrink sleeve packaging applications.
