With the German Printing Ink Ordinance (GIO) set to apply from January 2027, manufacturers of printing inks for food packaging are facing strict regulatory requirements aimed at ensuring consumer safety. Compliance with these regulations demands extensive development work, reformulation, and thorough testing across product portfolios.
Nonetheless, the international ink specialist Hubergroup Print Solutions confirms it already fully complies with the German Printing Ink Ordinance today. All Hubergroup products intended for food packaging applications meet the requirements defined by the GIO.
“The new German Printing Ink Ordinance will come into force in January 2027 – at Hubergroup, we are already complying with it a year ahead. We are delighted to announce that all our products for food packaging are GIO-compliant”, said Alessandro Moresco, Consumer Care Manager and Product Safety Expert at Hubergroup.
