Ensuring safety for food packaging is very important and here at Bay Cities, we take that very seriously. We are proud owners of a C500 digital printer that uses water-based inks, compliant with FDA standards for use with boxes packaged with food.
Digital Printing with Water-based Inks
Digital printing with water-based inks is a method that has several advantages over traditional printing techniques that use solvent-based inks. For one, it eliminates the risk of hazardous chemicals leaching into the packaged food. Additionally, water-based inks are non-toxic and produce vivid and attractive designs that enhance the appeal of the packaging.
Moreover, digital printing with water-based inks is eco-friendly and supports the global shift towards sustainability. It offers customization, flexibility, and rapid prototyping capabilities, which are essential in modern packaging design. In essence, it's a game-changer that prioritizes the safety of your food while improving its aesthetic appeal. This approach to food-safe packaging is a step towards a safer, healthier, and more sustainable future.
Sustainable Adhesives
Regarding food-safe packaging, the adhesive used in its construction is a crucial aspect to consider. The type of adhesive used can significantly impact the safety and sustainability of the packaging. Sustainable adhesives are carefully selected to securely bond various layers of packaging materials while being environmentally friendly.
These adhesives focus on sustainability, ensuring they do not release harmful substances in contact with food — or anything else after the packaging is discarded. They are made from natural, renewable resources and are free from toxic chemicals, making them safe for food packaging. Selecting sustainable adhesives contributes to the overall safety and eco-friendliness of the packaging, making it a more responsible and reliable option for consumers and the environment.
