Screen printing is highly versatile, creating possibilities that no other process can. To make the most of this technology for decorative and functional applications, flexibility and expertise are a must. Marabu has long played a key role in shaping screen printing technology. Our innovative ideas and products combined with our in-depth knowledge of printing processes have been instrumental in driving this technology forward. All over the world, Marabu is synonymous with high-quality inks, manufactured to the highest standards.
Enhanced and fine-tuned over decades, pad printing has become a firm fixture in the printing landscape. And it’s not surprising this technique offers unique solutions for some of the toughest surfaces. Suitable for a wide range of applications and substrates, this versatile process ensures first-rate results for decoration, marking, and identification.
Pad printing inks, despite their similarities and shared applications with screen printing inks, have key differences in structure and usage. Pad printing inks are typically thinner and have fast-drying properties, as they need to quickly transfer onto surfaces and are often used for fine, precise, and multi-dimensional prints such as logos or small text.
In the clothing industry, due to the constant washing of products, the adhesion of the ink to the fabric and its flexibility are determining factors in selecting the type of ink. Additionally, the absence of skin sensitivity and resistance to cold and heat are also key factors in this selection. In this context, Marabu has addressed the needs of this industry by introducing inks that comply with international standards.
One of the largest industries that plays a very special and important role in the lives of various human societies is the household appliances industry. Having a stable and durable print with high chemical and mechanical resistance, considering the continuous and ongoing use of household appliances in daily life and sometimes the need for washing them, is a significant competitive advantage for this category of products. The inks produced by Marabu are an ideal option to achieve these advantages in the household appliances industry.
Medical Equipment
Safety is the most important factor in medical products and supplies. The inks used for label printing and medical equipment must have sterilization capabilities and maintain their properties. Preventing the infiltration and leakage of ink into the biological environment of the body is the primary goal, which is ensured by Marabu’s medical-grade inks.
This technology provides a beautiful graphic appearance and durable physical properties to products without the need for labels. In this method, the relevant images are printed on special films or sheets and placed inside a mold. Then, a resin compatible with the properties of the film is injected from behind the film, resulting in molding from the respective film. When producing the final part, the prepared mold is placed inside the injection machine, and the production process begins. The inks used in this system have very high elasticity (flexibility) and excellent stability at high temperatures.
Sports Equipment
In the field of sports and various related equipment, we encounter a large community of athletes and a wide range of products associated with this industry, as well as a very high color diversity. The most important parameters related to the inks used to maintain the standards of produced sports equipment are high transparency, suitable coverage, and ideal chemical and mechanical resistance. The inks produced by Marabu are the best option to adequately meet the needs of this industry.
Toys and Children’s Items
Toys and children’s items require careful consideration and serious attention regarding health and safety. The hygiene and safety of the materials and inks used in these products are very critical. In this regard, Marabu has made significant contributions to ensuring children’s health during the use of printed products by producing this category of inks.
Electronic Equipment
Electrical equipment includes tools and devices such as cables, miniature fuses, switches, and essential goods fundamental to every industry and home. These products are designed to ensure energy supply, safety, and efficiency in electrical systems, playing a key role in the optimal and sustainable performance of equipment. Given their frequent and repeated use, these devices require durable and long-lasting printing that possesses maximum chemical and mechanical resistance.
Glass Industry
One of the largest industries that society is constantly in contact with, which encompasses a wide range of human production. Marabu, by utilizing special organic inks for glass, has played a significant role in reducing energy consumption and printing costs for glass. Ceramic (mineral) colors, along with high costs and energy waste, also pose environmental problems. The excellent washability, along with good chemical and mechanical resistance of Marabu’s special glass inks makes them an ideal choice for use in the glass industry.
Food Industry
One of the most important factors in food products is safe and non-toxic packaging inks. The use of Marabu’s food-grade inks has solved this issue for food packaging manufacturers. The stability of properties and lack of permeability are distinguishing features of using this category of inks.
Perfume Industry
The perfume industry is a global market driven by luxury, innovation, and personal expression. With a strong focus on branding and packaging, the bottle design continue to shape a core competence, making perfume a key element of the beauty and fashion world. Marabu inks are a trusted choice in the perfume bottle industry, known for their exceptional adhesion, durability, and vibrant color options. Designed specifically for glass, Marabu inks offer high resistance to chemicals, alcohol, and abrasion, ensuring long-lasting branding and decoration in different printing techniques like screen printing and pad printing.
Cosmetics Industries
The visual appeal of cosmetic and hygiene products, along with ideal chemical resistance, is a crucial factor in attracting customers. Given the evolution of cosmetic and hygiene products in line with societal needs, their printing and packaging must also evolve accordingly. Marabu has facilitated this with the introduction of suitable inks. The unique design, printing, and packaging of PE, PP, and PET bottles and containers set them apart from competitors. Marabu has made significant contributions by introducing recommended inks that offer high gloss and adhesion, while also ensuring skin safety.
