control.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Water-based inks<\/strong> (flexo) reduce VOCs and improve workplace safety; modern formulations deliver much-improved adhesion on treated films.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>UV-curable inks<\/strong> offer instant cure and vivid colors, but need compatibility checks for subsequent lamination and food-contact authorization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low-migration inks<\/strong> are mandatory when ink comes into contact with food or when inner layers could transfer odor or chemicals; request certificates and migration test data from the printer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always require the supplier <strong>Declaration of Compliance (DoC)<\/strong> and Certificates of Analysis
