BoFood Organic, the migration harmless ink for printing the inner sides of primary foodstuff packaging, has received the WorldStar Packaging Award for 2019. The product from Epple Druckfarben AG, Neusäß, Germany, won the award in the category “Packaging Materials & Components”. The World Star Packaging Award is presented by the WPO (World Packaging Organisation) and underlines the worldwide significance of a product for the printing industry.
“The selection of the jury demonstrates that inner side printing of packaging is in demand and that our low migration printing inks are absolutely future orientated for the global printing market,” said Gunther Gerlach, chairman of the Executive Board at Epple Druckfarben AG.
“In contrast to previously available inks with limited migration, BoFood Organic is composed exclusively of raw materials which are permitted in foodstuffs,” the jury noted. “This means that the inks present no toxicological risk; independent of whether they are determined for short or long term direct food contact. These inks are migration harmless.” The presentation will take place at the WorldStar Packaging Award on May 15, 2019 in Prague.
