Any off the shelf printing film Any off the shelf laminate film Pack Ready Coating (PRC) process flow Additional step HP Indigo 20000 SB Laminator Adhesive laminator High performance pouch To consumers Premade pouch machine Any off the shelf printing film Pack Ready Coating Any off the shelf laminate film
Pack Ready Coating (PRC) enables converter to produce sellable HP Indigo digitally printed retort pouches! Tunneling defects Before Retort After Retort Without Pack Ready Coating Sellable! With Pack Ready Coating Withstand Retort process up to 130oC for 60 min No LBS (Lamination Bond Strength) degradation No lamination defects such as tunneling Gain water resistivity Minor color shift phenomena after retort process might be seen depending on images.
Compliance with Food Packaging Regulation Pack Ready Coating in conjunction with HP Indigo ElectroInk printed on the non-food-contact side of selected polymeric multilayer food packaging complies with the applicable provisions of European food legislation, under well-defined conditions of use and printing conditions. The Swiss Ordinance provides a positive list of substances that may be used in food packaging inks; the substances used in HP Indigo Pack Ready Coating are listed on the positive list. The responsibility for ensuring compliance and safety of the final printed package lies with the printer and the printer’s customers.
