Packaging.
Packaging, whether primary or secondary has a unique list of requirements for the manufacturer, both of the printing equipment and the product itself. Learn more about the regulations that may apply to you and how IIJ can provide you with vital information and support you with the best possible product from our range.
Flexible
Printing onto flexible packaging requires high-resolution with small drop volumes, highly pigmented inks for bright attention grabbing graphics and an understanding of the compliances needed to put your product to market. Discuss these with our team and what you need to move your project forward.

Regulations.
For packaging manufacturers and brand owners, ensuring compliance with food-contact and consumer safety regulations is a critical part of delivering safe, high-quality products. A number of recognised standards and guidelines help ensure that packaging materials, printing inks, and printed components meet the strict requirements of both European and international markets.
Key regulations to look out for:
EuPIA Guidelines
Swiss Ordinance (SR 817.023.21)
Nestlé Guidance Note on Packaging Inks
Germany's Printing Ink Ordinance
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Flexible Packaging Association (FPA)
Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR)
International Standards such as ISO 11607
Compliance with applicable food, medical, and packaging regulations remains the sole responsibility of the manufacturer producing the final packaged product. It is the manufacturer's responsibility to conduct all necessary testing, validation, and regulatory assessments. Equipment manufacturers and ink suppliers provide component technologies only and cannot assume responsibility for end-product compliance.
