For inks and coatings, Impact Labels has partnered with Jet Technologies to introduce new food packaging compliant inks.

Impact Labels is the first company in Australia to use Jet Technologies’ PureTone Food Packaging Compliant inks – something the label house is really passionate about, MD Byron Hudghton tells PKN.

“As well as meeting the most rigid industry compliance regulations, the inks are high density, vibrant and substrate and application versatile enabling us to look at a diverse range of market segments,” he says.

“We have also invested in a full closed loop colour management system including the latest colour spectrometer and ink formulating software ensuring our customers have outstanding repeatability and supporting data to ensure consistency in their visual brand management.”

Jet Technologies’ ink product manager James Montgomery says: “We are delighted to be working with Impact Labels. Their passion for quality and getting things right first time fits well with our own ethos. They are a winning company and are always pushing the boundaries to be at the very cutting edge of technology.”

Montgomery says Impact Labels has shown true leadership by pushing for food packaging compliant inks and lead the market on this front.

“The investment they have made in their colour management program demonstrates their commitment to their customers and is testament to their vision of reducing waste, providing the end user with full traceability and again getting things right first time,” he adds.

“Impact has first class QC procedures and disciplines in place from cradle to grave that allow them to really back themselves and are certainly a benchmark company for ourselves when recommending process’ and work flow to other customers.”
