Applications for V495-D

Food Contact – Food product and package codes sometimes come into direct contact with food. Examples include production codes on flavoring pouches inserted into dry soup or noodle boxes, codes printed on food preparation instructions, or coupons inserted into packages containing dry prepared foods. Customers often want assurances that their ink codes have the same food grade integrity as the package contents.

Food Packaging – Sometimes outer packages or containers are simply not able to provide an adequate barrier between the ink code and the contents. Examples include codes on paper-based (porous) tea bag pouches, paper sugar bags, coffee, and other dry good bags. The barrier might also be ventilated or perforated, such as film that covers a microwavable food tray.

Direct application on food – Certain regions indicate a preference for eggshell coding with a blue color ink over red (i.e., V495-D ink). It is also possible to direct code onto pills and capsules, if the substrate permits.
