What the materials cover

These seminar materials cover the EU food contact requirements for printed and laminated multilayer films, as well as the national rules that apply alongside them. The focus is on printing inks, adhesives and coatings in food contact and on how they interact with plastic packaging materials. Topics include Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 on plastic materials, the functional barrier concept for printed or bonded packaging materials, migration testing and modelling of multilayer composites, and the assessment of non-authorised substances by comparing exposure and migration. The presentations are aimed at quality assurance, development, packaging technology, purchasing and production managers who work on safe food packaging.
