Safety is paramount when developing packaging designed for the high temperatures involved in microwave or oven use. It is vital that packaging companies and buyers alike are aware of the complex chemical and molecular behaviours of this type of packaging under extreme temperatures and that designs are comprehensively migration tested as required to comply with Commission Regulation (EU) No 10/2011.
KM Packaging offers a wide variety of fully migration-tested microwave and ovenable packaging options. These include flow wraps, pouches and an extensive range of weld seal and peelable lidding films, all of which can be printed with KM’s leading-edge, low migration, high heat resistant OVEN INK technology. Available with or without anti-fog, our lidding film solutions are suitable for CPET and aluminium foil trays as well as renewable alternatives such as PET-lined pressed board trays.
OVEN INK is suitable for cooking at temperatures up to 225 degrees Celsius, 435 degrees Farenheit, for up to 90 minutes, enabling brands to create enhanced marketing and branding on pack, while withstanding the higher heat conditions involved. OVEN INK also opens up opportunities for printing of QSR (Quick Service
Restaurants), food service and airline heated packs.
For enhanced consumer convenience and product safety, our ovenable flow wrap, incorporating KM’s migration tested OVEN INK technology for excellent retail presentation, ensures foodstuffs like chicken, sausage rolls and pies can go from supermarket shelf to plate without the need to be directly handled presenting clear benefits in terms of both convenience and food safety for the consumer.
