Flint Group has announced the release of a comprehensive whitepaper to outline the role of inks and coatings in supporting safe food packaging. Delving into the critical importance of food packaging safety and testing, the whitepaper explores the challenges posed by food contact materials (FCM) and the crucial role that high-quality inks and coatings play in minimising risk. Anna Niewiadomska, Marketing Manager Narrow Web at Flint Group, comments: “As established market experts, we have one of the most knowledgeable teams in the ink industry. With the launch of our new whitepaper, we aim to provide enhanced clarity on the intricate process to safely print food packaging and labels. We explain the purpose and significance of these processes, discuss how safety is measured, and highlight how modern technology effectively addresses food packaging challenges.”

Thomas Horne calls a print job his company executed this past Valentine’s Day “the hardest day for me as a printer.” It wasn’t the technical aspect of the job that challenged the employees of A-Plus Printing & Graphic Center, located in Plantation, Fla. It was the emotional aspect. On that day, 17 students and teachers from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., were killed in a mass shooting.

Tango Press, headquartered in Springdale, AR, opened in 2016 as an all-digital production plant for corrugated packaging and displays. The company has a reputation in the marketplace for providing high-impact packaging and displays that meet customers’ unique needs, timeframe, and price points. “The acquisition of Tango Press is a perfect complement to The BoxMaker and our web-to-print brand, Fantastapack.com.
