MGA® NATURA 5250
The special process series for organoleptically
neutral print products - low migration
Sheet-fed offset inks for printing food packaging shall not have any adverse effect on either the odour
or the taste of the package contents. The development of a new, special vehicle and the use of spe-
cially selected solvents, raw materials and production methods has enabled us to create low migration,
low-odour1 sheet-fed offset inks.
Legislators – and, as a consequence, many manufacturers for branded goods – are increasingly
turning their attention to printing inks and coatings for manufacturing food packaging, in particular with
respect to their safe usage and application and the chemical substances employed in them. The
hubergroup has stood up this challenge and clearly demonstrated how aware it is of its responsibilities
from the very beginning, and is making every effort to ensure its products comply with the legal
requirements by utilising the latest technological advances.
The MGA NATURA ink series is formulated mineral oil-free.
Basic requirements for food packaging
Food packages shall not transfer any substances to the packed foodstuff that
▪
endanger human health,
▪
influence the odour or taste of the packed food,
▪
influence the composition or appearance of the packed food.
Sheet-fed offset printing inks that are used in the manufacture of food packaging in which the
packaged food is in direct contact with the unprinted inside of the packaging must therefore be low-
migration inks and have no adverse effect on either the odour or the taste of the packaged foodstuffs.
MGA NATURA is a low migration and low-odour offset ink series for printing of food contact materials.
The inks are formulated mineral oil free and do not contain any drier to support drying by oxidation.
The inks are designed, formulated and manufactured, and the raw materials selected according to the
EuPIA-GMP "Printing Inks for Food Contact Materials". All ingredients are listed in annex 2 or 10 of the
Swiss Ordinance on materials and articles in contact with food (SR 817.023.21). The binder system of
MGA NATURA is based on special fatty acid esters which are approved for food contact. The ink
series is recommended to produce food packaging which is compliant to Regulation (EC) 1935/2004.
The manufacturer of the packaging has to do a risk assessment and appropriate quality control to
ensure that any migration to the packed foodstuff will not exceed legal limits. Information on
substances used or known to be present with the potential to migrate, including possible restrictions, is
provided in the respective “Statement of Composition”, to allow members of the packaging chain to
assess compliance of the printed packaging with the Framework Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004
and/or Swiss Ordinance 817.023.21.
1 The term „low-odour“ refers to prints that have been made with these inks
