Flint Group publishes whitepaper on food packaging regulations

Flint Group, a supplier of inks and coatings for the global print and packaging industry, has launched a new whitepaper to guide printers through changing food packaging regulations.

Released in response to strong interest following the launch of Flint Group's Flexocure Leap ink system, Managing Changing Food Packaging Regulations with Advanced Ink Technology offers valuable insight into evolving regulatory landscapes. The paper provides guidance on how new legislation is impacting food packaging safety.

The whitepaper outlines the critical role of ink and coating selection in minimizing migration risk. It highlights the unique, future-proof performance of Flexocure Leap in designing safer, standout food packaging. With the incoming German Printing Ink Ordinance (GIO), the whitepaper arrives at a crucial time for the packaging industry.

Developed to answer these upcoming challenges, Flexocure Leap is engineered with a revolutionary resin system that stabilizes photo initiator compounds and reduces the risk of migration. Its chemistry simplifies migration testing, delivering measurable efficiency while ensuring the highest safety standards.

Pierre Dogliani, technical director of Narrow Web Europe, said: 'Flexocure Leap is an entirely new technology, unlike anything else in the industry. Thanks to its breakthrough formulation, this UV Hg curing technology meets and exceeds emerging regulations for food-safe packaging and labeling.

'Both this product and our new whitepaper demonstrate Flint Group's ongoing commitment to supporting our customers as they prepare for the future and achieve safe, compliant, high-quality packaging.'
