We have been making printing inks for more than thirty years and remain an independent company offering a competent and reliable service.

For the growing number of printers who are interested in environmental care, Cranfield were amongst the first ink makers in the UK to achieve ISO14000. Being so ahead of the game, Cranfield achieved the accolade of Welsh Environmental Company of the Year in 2001, long before ‘Green credentials’ became an essential requirement for business survival.

Cranfield’s primary reputation is as a reliable manufacturer and supplier of conventional and UV Litho Printing Inks. Have a glance at our product page to see some of the other services available: from Emulsion coatings, UV inks and varnishes, continuous stationery inks, Heatset matchings, Pressroom chemicals, technical support and laboratory research as well as ‘toll manufacture of ink’ for other ink companies within the UK and for an array of export markets.

Cranfield is one of the few independent ink manufacturers that have the facilities and experience to make printing inks from dry pigment colours. This means we can control every aspect of ink formulation and production – starting from the initial selection of raw materials, right through to the filling and sealing of tin, cartridge, bucket or barrel!
