hubergroup Print Solutions, a leading international ink specialist, has presented its MGA (low migration and low odor) inks for food packaging. As a highlight, the ink specialist is also providing information about the recently launched series MGA Food News and MGA Evolution, which are the first web offset inks for food-compliant paper packaging. In addition, the company has exhibited its eco-friendly non-food packaging inks such as Rapida Eco and Eco-Perfect-Dry.
hubergroup’s MGA portfolio includes, among others, the fast-setting sheet-fed series MGA Natura, which is designed for the safe printing on the outside of food packaging, as well as the direct food contact series MGA Contact, which allows safe and vivid printing on the inside of paper and cardboard food packaging, according to the company.
The newcomer series MGA Food News and MGA Evolution, on the other hand, are aimed at web offset printers who want to establish a new business with the printing of food packaging. These are reportedly low-migration and low-odor coldset and heatset inks to produce food-compliant paper packaging in large quantities using 4-color printing. Food manufacturers can thus make their packaging more colorful, for example, by reproducing their products true-to-life on it.
