Flint Group Launches UV Flexo Ink for Food Labels

Flint Group is rolling out Flexocure ANCORA 50 – low migration UV flexo inks for food labels and certain flexible packaging applications.

“With the introduction of Flexocure ANCORA 50 we are expanding our portfolio of dedicated inks to suit the growing world of short run label and packaging applications," said Guillaume Clement, vice president of global narrow web for Flint Group. "This ink series is specially designed to support converters who print labels for the food segment.”

According to Clement, Flexocure ANCORA 50 meets some specific packaging applications where low migration inks are required. It complements Flint's existing UV flexo low migration ink series, Flexocure ANCORA, and its UV offset, Lithocure ANCORA, both of which are dedicated to the most stringent food packaging applications.

Flint Group reports that Flexocure ANCORA 50 is a UV flexo low migration ink for food labels and certain flexible packaging applications and is fully compliant to Swiss Ordinance SR 817.023.21 listing and to the Nestlé Guidance Note on Packaging inks (version 3, Feb 21 2014).  These inks have been thoroughly tested and have proven to pass migration tests. To support the global launch of Flexocure ANCORA 50, Flint Group says a comprehensive investment plan has been completed to ensure an increased production capacity with full GMP systems in place.
