Sappi supports Dutch chocolate producer with an innovation in secondary packaging
For the secondary packaging of its special “Tiny Tony’s” chocolate varieties into newly designed pouches, Dutch chocolate manufacturer Tony’s Chocolonely required a heat-sealable solution based on paper. With Sappi Guard Nature MS, innovation driver Sappi provided the ideal paper-based solution to the manufacturer. The substrate shows good printing results and delivers a high-value impression. But most importantly, it complements the company’s concept perfectly thanks to its environmentally friendliness and sustainability.

The printing ink manufacturer Zeller+Gmelin GmbH & Co. KG has again expanded its range of printing inks for the continuously growing market area of LED UV applications.

For use in the food sector, the specialist for radiation-curing printing inks and coatings has the Uvalux® FCM LED U581 series in its range as a low-migration product. It had already been launched on the market last year.
