BoFood Organic

The first offset ink for inside printing of food packaging (Potential direct food contact).

All currently used offset inks for food packaging are “only” recommended for printing on the filling averted side (outside). The reason for this is that most offset components are not evaluated or approved for direct food contact.

In case of migration harmless inks like BoFood MH potentially migrating components are food. Solids like resins, pigments or additives are not evaluated for direct food contact. Therefore inside printing, i.e. on the side facing the food is not recommended.

BoFood Organic is the consequent advancement of BoFood MH according to the demands of inside printing of food packaging. All raw materials used for BoFood Organic are approved for the usage in food. An ink consisting of such components poses no toxicological threat even in case of short-term as well as long-term direct contact.

BoFood Organic inks

BoFood Organic is to be processed like any other offset printing ink for food packaging. Due to the low-odor binding agents it is recommended to over-varnish BoFood Organic.

Due to the food pigments, available color shades differ from the usual color indices and partly also show lower light fastness.
