The printing ink specialist Hubergroup Print Solutions presents a new generation of water-based inks and varnishes for direct contact with food. The solution promises greater design freedom on recyclable packaging and at the same time supports the switch to sustainable materials.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With Hydro-X Contact, the Hubergroup is expanding its existing Hydro-X system to include colours and overprint varnishes that are particularly suitable for for use on monomaterials such as paper<\/strong> suitable. The inks are optimised for flexographic printing on central impression and stack printing presses and can be seamlessly integrated into existing printing processes. As a result, packaging manufacturers benefit from an efficient workflow, consistent quality and high colour stability.<\/p>\n

Sustainable solution for modern packaging<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hydro-X Contact enables Interior printing on food packaging<\/strong> - for chocolates, children's snacks or takeaway boxes - for example. without additional plastic barriers.<\/strong> This not only improves recyclability, but also provides additional space for creative design on the inside of the packaging. In combination with other sustainable technologies from the Hubergroup, such as barriers against grease, water, vapour and oxygen as well as heat-sealable coatings, the new solution opens up new avenues for functional and environmentally friendly packaging concepts.<\/p>
