Food packaging ink prints on many materials

Linx Printing Technologies product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team
Jun 15, 2005
Meeting the rigorous health and safety standards of the food industry, a food packaging ink prints onto foil, paper, card and many types of plastics.
Linx Printing Technologies has expanded its range of inks with the introduction of Linx Black food packaging ink 2250 specifically designed to meet the rigorous health and safety standards of the food industry.
Suitable for printing onto a broad range of food packaging materials including foil, paper, card and many types of plastics, it can also be used for coding onto pharmaceutical applications such as tablet blister packs.
Linx Black food-packaging ink 2250 is alcohol based and free from MEK or other ketonic solvents.
As a result it is low odour, suited to manufacturing environments where odour may build up or where there are concerns about products being tainted.
The ink also uses a non-chromium based dyestuff and meets USDA requirements for incidental contact with meat and poultry.
Linx always takes great care to minimise the health, safety and environmental impact of its inks.
Unlike other continuous ink jet ink manufacturers, none of its inks are classified as 'Toxic', 'Harmful' or 'Toxic to the Environment'.
Linx Black food packaging ink 2250 is completely free from environmental or health risks, according to current EU legislation.
Comments Kate Rattigan, Ink Product Executive at Linx: "Safety is a primary concern for the food industry and has driven some food manufacturers to seek alternative solutions to product coding such as hot wax and laser coders".
"However, continuous ink jet offers the critical advantage of leaving a clear, permanent code on almost any material".
"Our new Linx Black food packaging ink 2250 overcomes the traditional problems often associated with inks used for food-related applications".
"Furthermore it is extremely cost effective to use compared with non-alcohol based inks as its low rate of evaporation means less frequent refilling of the printer and low solvent consumption.".
