Flint Group announces the release of a comprehensive whitepaper to outline the role of inks and coatings in supporting safe food packaging.
Enhanced Clarity to Safely Print Food Packaging & Labels
The whitepaper explores the challenges posed by food contact materials (FCM). Also, the crucial role that high-quality inks and coatings play in minimizing risk. The whitepaper delves into the critical importance of food packaging safety and testing.
“
With the launch of our new whitepaper, we aim to provide enhanced clarity on the intricate process to safely print food packaging and labels. We explain the purpose and significance of these processes, discuss how safety is measured. Also, highlight how modern technology effectively addresses food packaging challenges,” said Anna Niewiadomska, marketing manager, Narrow Web at Flint Group.
“
The whitepaper examines the legislative landscape governing FCM. It provides a stronger understanding of regulatory demands from an ink and coating perspective. There’s no margin for error when it comes to consumer safety. Therefore, we aim to build a stronger foundation of knowledge across the market,” added Niewiadomska.
Alongside an explanation of common sources of migration, the whitepaper also includes information about the EkoCure® ANCORA ink range. Designed for FCM label printing applications, this
UV LED FCM ink series combines dual cure (UV Hg and UV LED) technology with food-compliant chemistry to enable food-safe printing at high press speeds.
“
Our new whitepaper is one example, but we show our commitment to supporting food-compliant packaging and labels in many ways. From comprehensive training programmes to fully segregated ink production facilities and participation in FINAT’s UVFoodSafe consortium. We ensure our partners have the knowledge and tools to maintain compliance and deliver safe food packaging solutions, and to confirm the high quality that Flint Group is known for,” said Marc Heylen, senior director.
