Scrutiny has been intense for food packaging converters who use energy curable presses. Their customers want the packaging to pop off the shelf, protect their product, extend shelf life and more. At the same time, printers have to comply with the strictest global standards in the marketplace, including Nestlé food packaging requirements and Swiss Ordinance chemical composition requirements. They also have to consider strict labeling laws like California’s Proposition 65. 

During this podcast, we will discuss some of the concerns in the marketplace about using energy curable ink solutions for food safe packaging and learn how Sun Chemical’s new portfolio of energy curable inks can help printers feel confident in being compliant with all safe food packaging.

Speaker: Jim Bishop, Field Product Manager, UV, EB & Conventional Packaging Inks, Sun Chemical.
