Hubergroup Print Solutions has announced the global availability of its TINKREDIBLE MGA ink system, developed specifically for offset printing on metal packaging used for food and beverage applications. The move expands the reach of a system previously introduced in selected markets, making it available to metal packaging printers worldwide.
The ink series is designed for printing on metal substrates used in both monobloc and three-piece food cans, which are widely used for products such as seafood, processed foods, and preserved items. Packaging manufacturers operating in this segment require inks that can maintain colour quality and adhesion while withstanding demanding processing conditions including sterilisation and heat treatment.
A key aspect of the newly expanded system is its low-migration formulation, designed to reduce the transfer of ink components from the printed surface into packaged food. The inks are also formulated without mineral oils, BPA, or PFAS, aligning with tightening international regulations governing substances used in food contact packaging.
For metal packaging converters, the system is intended to support both packaging safety and decorative performance. Metal can decoration requires inks that deliver stable colour reproduction, strong adhesion to metal surfaces, and resistance to scratching and moisture during filling, storage, and distribution.
The TINKREDIBLE MGA range includes process colours, opaque whites, metallic inks, and special shades, allowing converters to produce brand-specific packaging graphics. The system can also be used with Hubergroup’s colour mixing solutions to create customised colours for metal packaging designs.
With the global rollout, Hubergroup aims to provide packaging printers and converters with a standardised ink solution for metal food packaging applications across different markets.
