Low Migration
UV Printing Ink Systems
for Printing of
Food-Packaging
The production of legally compliant food-packaging
implies the right choice of printing inks and lacquer
systems have been used.
Based on our latest developments Zeller+Gmelin
presents a new generation of low migration UV
printing inks for printing of food packaging and
labels. These products distinguish themselves because
of their low migration formulation and also because
of their very good printability.
All our low migration ink series are formulated
in accordance with the guidelines of the Nestlé
Guidance Note and Swiss regulation SR 817.023.21.
