Range Of Products Headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, ProAmpac has more than 2,400 employees across 18 manufacturing locations in North America, Europe and Asia. The company offers a broad range of products and capa- bilities, including wide web extrusion coating and laminating of film, foil, paperboard and nonwovens; metallizing; pouching; bag converting, and ro- togravure and flexographic printing. Flint Group, AMS Partner For LED Ink Solution Flint Group and Air Motion Systems have partnered to develop, test and introduce a line of LED-curable low-migration inks for in-mold labels that meet strict regulations for inks intended for food-packaging ap- plications. Strict Guidelines According to officials, the new inks adhere to guidelines put forth in the “Swiss Ordinance” (SR 817.023.21), a piece of legislation introduced by Switzerland in 2010 (and revised multiple times, most recently in June 2015) that outlines sub- stances/components deemed safe for use in the pro- duction of pr inting inks developed for food packaging, and that of similarly sensitive goods. The Swiss Ordinance guidelines are designed to avoid sit- uations where, if ink were to “migrate” into a product and contaminate it, consumers would potentially be harmed; going a step further, it also mandates the ac- ceptable migratory properties of any elements/sub- stances on the list of approved potential ink ingredients on a PPM level, to ensure that consumers are at no risk. Because regulations around the world vary greatly, the “Swiss Ordinance” is reportedly considered a stringent and thorough set of rules to specifically ad- dress printing inks for such applications.
