Nearly four decades of formulating dependable printing inks for India's packaging makers — from our works in Balasore, Odisha.
Annapurna Printing Inks Pvt. Ltd. was established in 1987 in Balasore, Odisha. In 1992 we produced the first water-based ink in Eastern India, supplying the paper sack industry for tea, carbon black and chemical packaging — and we've grown with the region's packaging industry ever since.
We manufacture both water-based and solvent-based flexographic & gravure inks, along with flexo & gravure reducers — unlike traders who only blend, we work from raw materials — pigments, resins, additives and solvents — through our own production and quality process. That end-to-end control is what lets us deliver consistent shade, strength and adhesion, batch after batch.
From corrugated cartons and kraft paper sacks to paper cups, paper bags, notebooks, poly woven sacks and films, our inks, varnishes and press chemicals are tuned to the substrate and process our customers actually run.

Since inception, our motto has been to assure the best quality products at the most affordable rates. For over three decades we've built a healthy customer base while maintaining lasting relationships — the management believes in ultimate customer satisfaction, down to the smallest colour demand. We hold an undisrupted market share for certain shades and are unmatched in quality, to name a few:
Our factory manufactures up to 5 MT of ink daily, with precision grinding below 4 microns — resulting in a fine, consistent finished product.
Every ink is tested against its specific shade, viscosity and pH level before dispatch — avoiding spreading, impression issues, pinholes and other common printing problems.
Certified by TUV Nord India per Indian, EU and USA packaging standards. Our inks are ROHS-compliant, environment-friendly, and safe for any food-item packaging.
With the ever-changing dynamics of modern printing technology, our R&D team is on a constant mission to keep pace with demand. Currently in development:
Alongside our Balasore facility, Annapurna Printing Inks maintains operations in Kolkata to serve customers across West Bengal.
⚙️ Setup note for the owner: add the Kolkata office/depot address, contact person and phone number here — tell me the details and I'll wire them in, matching the WhatsApp/call buttons used elsewhere on the site.
Whether it's a new shade, a substrate change or a steady supply contract — we're ready to help.
