Tagless Garment Ink – Sapphire SB series Ink from Inkcups Now Corp.

[Concise version]

Tagging garments – jeans, t-shirts, undergarments etc. – is getting quicker and easier. With Sapphire SB series ink the tags can be pad or screen printed, no sewing tags in or heat transferring required. While heat transfer just puts markings on the garment’s surface, SB ink penetrates and saturates textile thus extending the life of the tag. SB ink is very durable even when used as a 1 component ink; with hardener, it will withstand copious industrial washings. SB is easy to process, it cures by air and dries very fast, enabling the operator to pile items one on another right after they are printed.

Sapphire SB series has been used in Europe as textile ink for many years. It is safe for children, complies with European EN 71 Toy Safety standard and California Proposition 65. Among other applications of SB ink is printing on stress balls, rubberized pens, soft touch travel mugs, koozies, can coolers, simulated leather and vinyl items as well as other flexible or coated products.

As all Sapphire series, SB is available in 21 standard color shades that yield bright images. For very dark textiles black and white high density colors are offered. A twelve color mixing system and free formulation guide is available for the generation of Pantone colors. For more information please visit or call 1-978-646-8980.
