UV Printing Ink Systems
for Printing of
Food-Packaging

requires the correct printing ink and lacquer systems to
be selected.
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 are distinguished by their low migration composition
coupled with excellent printing characteristics.
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.
