Frequently Asked Questions

What is TWG-OF LMI?

TWG-OF LMI is Triwill Group’s low migration grade for conventional sheetfed offset presses, intended for food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and other sensitive packaging printed on paper and board.

Does a low migration ink on its own make a pack suitable for food?

No, and it is important to be clear about that. Migration depends on the complete system: the ink, the substrate, the packaging structure, the packed product and the conditions the pack will face.

Which packaging does it suit?

Sheetfed paper and board packaging for sensitive products, including folding cartons, sleeves and related board work for food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. The specific suitability of the grade for a given pack depends on the substrate the structure and the product.

How is it different from a standard offset ink?

A standard offset ink is formulated for general commercial colour and running performance. A low migration grade is formulated with migration control as an additional design priority, while still delivering the colour, trapping and drying behaviour needed for packaging work.
