Elements from materials used in food packaging must not be allowed to migrate into the contents. Migration depends on the materials used, interaction between the consumables used, and the design of the packaging itself. The processing of the materials (e.g. drying) is frequently the crucial problem in this respect. Heidelberg has taken particular care in selecting its range and offers a broad-based portfolio of suitable consumables. This extends from inks, coatings, fountain solutions, and washing fluids to folding carton glue and lubricants.
Another key factor is the subsequent application for the packaging – for instance, will it be used for dried and/or greasy foodstuffs? All materials are specially designed to prevent/minimize migration or impairment of the packaged product.
Saphira Anicolor consumables have been specially optimized for the Speedmaster SX 52 and Speedmaster XL 75 with Anicolor short inking unit. Both conventional and UV inks as well as fountain solutions are available.
For example, our conventional inks respond perfectly to changes in temperature for precise color control.
This means short setup times and less waste. All Anicolor inks can also be customized and overprinted using digital printing. For UV printing on paper and film, the Anicolor ink series achieves a consistent ink layer thickness, and therefore a constant and steady ink application. The Saphira Anicolor fountain solution ensures a stable ink/water balance and the best printing performance.
