Low Migration Inks

INX International announced a brand extension for INXhrc RC natural-based inks: a new UV/LED dual cure low migration formulation for plastic and foam-based packaging joins the tried-and-true UV curable formulation. Both offer a series of operational, regulatory, and sustainable benefits for brand owners and printers.

INXhrc RC LM is a Nestle-compliant, high-performance ink solution with clean, renewable, and sustainable ingredients used for the printing of low migration applications on rigid container packaging. Designed with high levels of biorenewable content and formulated without VOC solvents, it delivers top-tier print quality and reduces the carbon footprint of packaging materials by up to 30%. With excellent adhesion and color consistency attributes, these inks are food-safe for sensitive packaging applications.

“Consumer expectations,” states Renee Schouten, INX International’s vice president of marketing, “for manufacturer accountability in regards to safety and sustainability continues to increase, so low migration inks are becoming a more important consideration for the packaging industry. This is especially true for the impact of plastic and foam-based rigid containers, so we are replacing petrochemical derived resins with natural and renewable materials.

“These two INXhrc RC formulations offer superior dry offset printing quality of rigid containers or decorative packaging, and help lower your carbon footprint. By keeping consumer safety and the environment in mind, you have regulatory confidence and access to a product using biorenewable, clean ingredients without compromising performance.”
