Sun Chemical has introduced SunPak DFC inPace, a sheetfed offset ink system for folding cartons used in direct food contact packaging and has also widened its AquaSafe water-based ink range with additional base colours.
SunPak DFC inPace is produced at the company's Badalona Centre of Excellence in Spain for food packaging.
The company said that direct food contact inks and coatings from the site are supported by dedicated production capabilities intended to provide consistent quality, regulatory compliance and supply continuity across the Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region.
According to the company, the ink system and related coatings offer direct food contact compliance, remove the need for plastic laminates and inserts, and support packaging structures that are easier to recycle.
Sun Chemical noted that the range has a high bio-based carbon content verified through Carbon-14 testing, while helping reduce material use and production stages.
