hubergroup Print Solutions launches web offset inks for food packaging

Ink Solutions

Paper packaging is becoming increasingly popular in the food sector due to its good recyclability. Web offset printers can now also benefit from this increasing demand as hubergroup Print Solutions is launching the first coldset and heatset inks for food compliant paper packaging. While printers can thus build up another mainstay, the food industry has a new opportunity to design sustainable paper packaging in a colourful and creative way. The mineral oil free and low migration ink series MGA Food News and MGA Evolution are initially available in Europe and Asia.

With these new printing inks, it is possible for the first time to produce food compliant paper packaging in large quantities using four colour printing in web offset. Food manufacturers can thus make their packaging more colourful, for example, by reproducing their products true to life on it. Seasonally or regionally changing designs are also possible and affordable even in small quantities, allowing large and small retailers to become even more creative with their packaging.

Both the coldset series MGA Food News and the heatset series MGA Evolution are ideal for printing on packaging of baked goods, fast food such as burgers or wraps, and products from the deli counter, but also for all other paper packaging in the food sector. Printers can use the new ink series on all common coldset or heatset machines and are supported by the hubergroup service team during implementation.
