Frequently Asked Questions

What is a food contact safe aqueous gloss finish?

A food contact safe aqueous gloss finish is a water-based gloss lacquer formulated for food-packaging use, giving a bright gloss finish and print protection, with technical documentation to support a converter’s assessment of its suitability for a specific food pack.

Does food-safe mean it is suitable for every food pack?

No. Food-contact suitability depends on the full packaging system — substrate, ink, coating, structure, product, storage and regulatory requirements.

Why choose a food-safe gloss over a general gloss for food packaging?

Because food packaging needs a documented, food-packaging-formulated finish, not just a finish that looks right. A food-safe gloss gives a brand both shelf appearance and a documented basis for food-packaging use, which general gloss grades are not intended to provide.

Can food-safe gloss coatings be applied in-line?

Yes. Food-safe aqueous gloss grades are made for in-line and off-line coating units, subject to the same application and drying considerations as other aqueous gloss coatings, plus the documentation and control disciplines of food-packaging production.
