The world’s first ovenable films and pouches printed with water-based inks are now being offered by Sirane. Thanks to the firm, the self-seal, heat-seal cooking bags, and stand-up pouches are now available as custom-printed ovenable/microwaveable bags and films. They employ water-based inks approved for use with high temperatures during printing.
“Consumer demand for ovenable convenience is growing rapidly and it is essential food cooked in plastic packaging, a very popular way of cooking, is safe. It is great that we have been able the reduce the environmental impact of these products,” commented Peter Ralten, commercial business development director at Sirane.
The amount of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) released during production is decreased by using water-based printing. The films may be used to safely cook most foods, including fish, meat, poultry, and vegetables, at higher temperatures.
