hubergroup’s Tinkredible MGA ink system standardises packaging safety

International ink specialist hubergroup has officially launched its high-performance ink system, Tinkredible MGA, to worldwide markets, providing food and drink manufacturers with a singular, versatile solution for offset printing across diverse global regulatory landscapes.

The expansion of the Tinkredible MGA range marks a significant milestone for multinational brand owners who have traditionally struggled with varying regional safety standards for food-contact materials.

By offering a unified ink technology that meets the most stringent global requirements — including the Swiss Ordinance and the Nestlé Guidance Note — hubergroup is enabling manufacturers to maintain brand consistency and safety assurance regardless of where their packaging is produced or sold.

At the heart of the system’s versatility is its sophisticated migration-safe formulation, which is specifically engineered for folding cartons and paper-based food packaging.

Unlike standard offset inks, the Tinkredible MGA system uses specially selected raw materials that do not migrate through the substrate, ensuring that the organoleptic properties of the food — such as taste and aroma — remain entirely unaffected. This makes it an ideal choice for sensitive categories ranging from high-end confectionery and dry ambient goods to chilled dairy and frozen entrees.

Beyond safety, the system is designed to deliver high-speed performance on modern printing presses. It offers excellent colour intensity and sharp dot reproduction, according to hubergroup, ensuring that the complex graphics and vivid branding required to stand out in the competitive retail environment are not compromised by the switch to a migration-optimised ink.

The system also supports a wide range of finishing options, including water-based coatings, which allows manufacturers the creative freedom to experiment with tactile effects and premium matte or gloss finishes.

For manufacturers looking to streamline their supply chains, the global availability of Tinkcredible MGA reduces the complexity of sourcing different ink sets for different regions. This standardisation not only lowers the risk of compliance errors but also supports faster time-to-market for international product launches.

As the food industry continues to move toward more sustainable, paper-based packaging formats, hubergroup’s latest global rollout provides a robust foundation for brands to innovate with confidence, knowing their packaging meets the highest global benchmarks for both performance and consumer protection.
