What the materials cover

This advanced seminar explains how EU and national regulations govern printing inks, adhesives, coatings and paper in food contact, with a critical look at combining these materials with plastics for food packaging. The documents cover Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 on plastic materials, the functional barrier concept for printed or laminated packaging materials, and migration testing and modelling of multilayer laminates. They also address the assessment of non-authorised substances, distinguishing between exposure and migration. The material is intended for quality assurance, development, packaging technology, purchasing and production staff who use or evaluate printed and laminated flexible packaging for food.
