SunPak LMQ

SunPak LMQ is a low migration ink that addresses the risk brand owners face in packaging, where compounds from materials in the packaging structure can migrate into the food product or the surrounding environment. SunPak LMQ inks exhibit very low odor, off-flavor and migration levels, and offer a comprehensive solution to brand owners and converters who are looking for ways to address migration concerns for food, pharmaceutical and tobacco applications.

SunPak Organic

Comprising only raw materials that have been approved for use as food ingredients, this series of sheetfed offset inks is ideal for use by folding carton converters to print on the inside of food packaging where direct food contact is an option. By using SunPak Organic, converters can remove plastic barriers inside a box of chocolate or biscuits, for example, and still print on the inside of the box.

SunPak FSP

SunPak FSP offset inks for food packaging are based on renewable bio-based materials and have achieved a new standard in eco-friendliness through a combination of compliance and sustainability. The ink set is fully compliant with all existing food packaging legislation worldwide and has been independently tested by Beta Analytic, the world leader in carbon-14 measurements, to prove the high level of its environmental sustainability.
