Sports goods

Inks for the industry Sialkot built.

Footballs, gloves, sportswear and equipment — four kinds of work, each printed on a different surface and judged by a different test.

The industry

Enabling Sialkot to compete globally.

Sialkot produces 70% of the world's hand-stitched footballs and is a major supplier to international sports brands. Our ZDHC MRSL Level 1 certified grades (16 OPP SK products plus Advance Adhesive-TEX, Manson GL 02 Black, Manson UI RED 06 FX, OPP AS HARDENER and AIC Retarder) enable these manufacturers to meet stringent international compliance requirements.
