Pulse to launch food packaging inks at Labelexpo

Ink manufacturer Pulse Roll Label Products will launch a new range of inks for food packaging applications at Labelexpo Europe 2009 on stand 7N110. The company will also feature recent developments in UV and water-based inks, varnishes and adhesives for the production of labels with special decorative effects and finishes including tactile, textured, high brilliance silver, peel and read and linerless.

Managing director Gary Seward commented: 'The overall requirements for food packaging are that the materials used to formulate inks must be in compliance with good manufacturing practice. This means that under their normal or foreseeable conditions of use, they do not transfer constituents to foodstuffs in amounts that could endanger health, or cause an unacceptable change in the composition of the product or affect its taste or smell. Our PM and BB range of inks for food packaging are the result of working closely with raw materials suppliers and end users. They offer customers two strategies in UV ink formulations that address changes in EC regulations and EuPia guidelines on packaging inks.'

Pulse Roll Label Products has been supplying the global label converting and packaging industries since 2000 and is part of the Pulse Group of companies. The company's portfolio includes UV curable and water-based inks, coatings and adhesives, special effect inks, pressroom products and cleaning solutions.
