Apollo ink jet containers: excellent inks since 1983
Apollo Ink was established in 1994, following the launch of its parent company, Apollo Colours, in 1983. As a family-run business, it specialises in manufacturing printing inks across the UK, Canada, and Germany. Offering a diverse range of products, Apollo Ink produces screen-printing, plastisol, and water-based inks, along with speciality options such as metallic and glow-in-the-dark varieties.
Headquartered in London and West Sussex, Apollo Colours is the UK’s largest independent manufacturer of screen inks. Its reputation for excellence was recognised in 2009 when it received the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade.
To maintain the integrity of its inks, Apollo required an airtight container to prevent exposure to air and subsequent drying. Keeping oxygen out was essential to preserving ink quality, as oxidation could compromise its properties. By minimising waste from dried-out ink, the company could also reduce costs and improve efficiency.
Wilkinson’s Containers provided the ideal solution— a vacuum-sealed metal tin designed to maintain freshness and quality. The cylindrical tin features a secure, tight-fitting lid, ensuring the ink remains protected. Made entirely from metal, it is also fully recyclable, offering a more sustainable packaging choice.
The vacuum-sealing process removes air from the container before sealing the lid, creating a perfectly preserved environment. This ensures the ink stays in optimal condition, preventing leaks and extending shelf life.

Wilkinsons Containers provide EndoTherm with the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottle they market the liquid additive in. HDPE is a durable type of plastic that is renowned for its strength.

While not as clear as PET plastic, HDPE bottles and containers can be translucent so you can to see your product inside the bottle. The P. Wilkinsons’s EndoTherm bottle has been designed with a visible clear strip down the side of bottle so customers can easily see how much liquid is left. The design also features marked measurements along the strip.

Unlike other paint tins, where the product is likely to get caught underneath a standard rim, the outside curl allows for all the contents to be removed leaving only traces behind. The tins large opening and functional lid also allows users to slide a palette knife into the container, to then spread ink over the inkjet rollers, allowing for easy application of the product.
