Introduction: Packaging That Protects Both Food and Health
In the food industry, packaging is more than just a way to wrap products — it’s a critical factor in food safety and brand presentation. At Hangzhou Hongchang Paper Industry Co., Ltd, we believe that the materials we use must meet the highest standards of safety and quality. That’s why our greaseproof paper and wax paper are printed using certified food-grade ink, ensuring your food is safe to eat while keeping your packaging visually appealing.
What Exactly Is Food-Grade Printing Ink?
Food-grade printing ink is a specially formulated ink that meets strict safety regulations for materials that come into direct or indirect contact with food. Unlike traditional printing inks, food-grade inks are:
- Free from harmful chemicals like heavy metals, benzene, and toluene.
- Designed to prevent migration, meaning no harmful substances will transfer from the printed surface to the food.
- Tested and certified by regulatory bodies such as the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) and EU food safety authorities.
In simple terms, food-grade ink ensures that your custom-printed greaseproof paper and wax paper look amazing without compromising health.
