Frequently Asked Questions

What is a low migration UV coating?

A low migration UV coating is a high-gloss, UV-curable overprint coating formulated to limit the movement of coating components through a printed pack and into the product it contains.

Do I need a low migration coating for food packaging?

It depends on the pack structure, substrate, product and regulatory requirements. For many food packs, a migration-controlled coating system is required or expected by brand owners and retailers.

How is it different from a standard high-gloss UV coating?

In appearance and curing, it is very similar: a bright, hard, instantly cured gloss. The difference is in the formulation, which is designed to minimise migratable components, and in how it is selected — as part of a complete packaging system, rather than on finish alone.

Can it be applied on a standard UV coating unit?

Yes, provided the press is fitted with UV lamps and a coating unit suitable for UV overprint application. Printers who already run UV gloss coatings can usually run a low migration grade on the same setup.
