What the materials cover

The presentation materials cover the food law requirements for printing inks, adhesives and coatings in flexible film packaging, components found in almost every pack. They explain how EU and national rules regulate this area, with a focus on combinations with plastics in food contact. A central topic is the functional barrier concept for printed or laminated packaging materials. The materials also address migration testing and migration modelling of multilayer laminates, as well as risk assessment, including the relationship between exposure and migration and the evaluation of non-authorised substances. They are aimed at professionals in quality assurance, development, packaging technology, purchasing and production who already have basic knowledge, for example of Regulation (EU) No 10/2011.
