Asia Water-Based Ink Gravure Printing Alliance Demonstration 2025
Asia Water-Based Ink Gravure Printing Alliance Demonstration will take place on 16 - 18 October 2025 at Guangzhou Airport Expo Center, China.
As global environmental standards continue to tighten, regulatory limits on VOC emissions are pushing the print industry to seek safer, more sustainable alternatives to traditional solvent-based inks. Water-based inks, known for their non-toxic and eco-friendly properties, are emerging as a key solution — driving strong growth across global markets. With growing pressure for sustainable printing and increasing saturation in the flexographic segment, water-based gravure inks are now positioned for rapid expansion, supported by advances in technology and reduced production costs.
Set to take place from 16–18 October 2025 at the Guangzhou Aerotropolis Exhibition Center, this year’s Grandeur Asia Ink Expo will be held under the theme "Promoting Green Printing, Embracing Low-Carbon Living". The event will feature a comprehensive programme including product showcases, industry forums, business matchmaking, live demonstrations, and commercial opportunity announcements — offering a platform for innovation, partnership, and brand development.
The 2025 exhibition will spotlight the latest advancements in eco-friendly ink technologies, with a particular focus on water-based formulations. Several participating companies have reported key breakthroughs — including optimised emulsion systems that reduce drying times by up to 30%, deliver vivid colour performance, enhance adhesion, and support high-speed production. These solutions are particularly well suited to food packaging applications, where safety and sustainability are critical.
