es from printed packaging into food products. Despite its name, the German Printing Ink Ordinance does not only apply to printing inks but to all printed food contact mate- rials where a transfer of substances from the printed layer to the food cannot be excluded. To meet the new requirements, Siegwerk is continu- ously working to convert relevant ink, coating, and varnish formulations to ensure GIO-compliance. This includes, for example, the UV flexo ink series SICURA Nutriflex 10 and the dual-cure series SICURA Nutriflex LEDTec and Sicura Nutriflex Orbis Dual Cure that can be cured with both LED- UV and UV mercury lamps. These low-migration ink se- ries are suitable for processing on all types of in-line label or packaging printing machines on a wide range of sub- strates and enable the printing of GIO-compliant primary food packaging. Other examples of Siegwerk’s GIO-ready portfolio include SICURA Nutriflex OPVs, the company’s low-migration overprint varnishes for sensitive packaging applications.
