DIC Pakistan

DIC Pakistan Limited is the leading manufacturer of quality printing inks in Pakistan. DIC Pakistan Ltd is a joint venture between M/s Packages Ltd of Pakistan and DIC Asia Pacific (Formerly Dainippon Ink & Chemicals) of Singapore. The company started its operations from July 1994.

DIC Pakistan Ltd is not only the largest ink manufacturer of Pakistan but also the first printing ink manufacturing company of Pakistan to attain the ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 certification. Today the company employs around 200 people and focuses on performance based printing inks for the Sheetfed Offset, Flexographic and Gravure printing industries located all over Pakistan i.e. from Karachi to Peshawar.

DIC Pakistan Ltd. supply inks for food packaging that have been carefully formulated to exclude materials known to be toxic. We exclude all materials on BCF (formally SBPIM) and CEPE exclusion lists. In addition, we select pigments, which have high bleed resistance and materials with low migratory potentials.

We supply these inks on the understanding that they will not be printed in such a way as to come into direct contact with food and that the printer or converter will use suitable packaging design. The substrate should form an effective functional barrier between print and food stuff, printing should not occur in areas which by folding come into contact with food and the inks should be properly dried or cured.

Our policy is not to supply inks for application where the printed surface will be intentionally in contact with the food.
