Printing ink set-off testing with food simulant E (Tenax), analysis with GC-MS
Printing ink set-off can occur on the reverse side of printed labels, lids, cups, and packaging films, either in a stack or in the reel after printing. This creates a potential risk of low molecular weight substances transferring to the unprinted surface of the packaging and further coming into contact with the contents.
The price includes a simple risk assessment based on the Swiss Ordinance for printing inks (SR 817.023.21), EU regulations for food contact materials, and EFSA's Threshold of Toxicological Concern (TTC) approach. More extensive risk assessment is available upon request.
