Epple Discusses Safe Packaging at Breslau Conference

Sustainability was the focus of the “safe packaging” event in Breslau in mid-November 2019.

A key issue was plastic packaging.

Epple Druckfarben introduced the new migration harmless sheet offset ink system PURe and BoFood Organic – real sustainable alternatives in packaging printing.

More than 200 people from printing houses and agencies, branded companies and ink manufacturers took part in the “Bezpieczne Opakowanie 9” conference.

The core topics of the event with expert presentations were, among others, the functionality of barriers vs. packaging safety, safety features in digital printing as well as new regulations regarding single-use plastics.

Also, the topics of low-migration printing inks and packaging recycling were discussed.

Jarosław Woźny, Epple Druckfarben AG, discussed these topics during his presentation.

The application engineer is responsible for the Polish market and demonstrated the possibilities of the hazardous label-free and odorless PURe color system. It does without mineral oils as well as potentially toxic ingredients and has excellent drying and processing properties.

Also, Woźny provided information about BoFood Organic. The ink system enables printing the insides of folding foodstuff cartons, whereby direct food contact is also possible. All raw materials used in BoFood Organic are approved for use in foodstuffs themselves.

The company Reprograf Grafikus, sponsor of the event “Safe Packaging,” has been Epple’s exclusive sales partner in Poland for almost three years.
