Hubergroup launches cold foil adhesives for FCM applications

Hubergroup has introduced its latest innovations Cold Foil Silver and Cold Foil Gold adhesives, specially designed for food contact material (FCM) applications.  

Tailored for packaging manufacturers in the confectionery, chocolate, tobacco, and hygiene sectors, these products meet the high standards for visual quality, safety, and efficiency in print production.  

The new Cold Foil Silver and Cold Foil Gold adhesives are powered by hubergroup's advanced UV-curing cold foil adhesives, NewV lac MGA to provide sharp definition and brilliance. With rapid curing speeds and high press performance, these cold foils offer brands the opportunity to achieve high-impact metallic effects with precision. They also reduce material consumption by minimizing initial print waste. 

Developed in collaboration with leading foil manufacturers, these products undergo stringent testing, ensuring they are available for immediate use worldwide. Cold Foil Silver and Cold Foil Gold adhesives uphold the high product safety standards. Both products are compliant with key regulatory standards, including the EuPIA Suitability List of Photoinitiators and Photosynergists for Food Contact Materials, EuPIA Guideline for Printing Inks applied to Food Contact Materials and the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for FCM Printing Inks. They are formulated according the Swiss Ordinance on Materials and Articles in Contact with Food (SR 817.023.21) allowing the printed article being compliant to the Framework Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004, along with the Plastics Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011.  

Cold Foil Silver and Cold Foil Gold adhesives also offer reduced costs and lower waste through minimized make-ready materials and initial run losses. These products are part of hubergroup’s commitment to sustainable production, empowering companies to reduce their environmental impact without sacrificing quality. 

‘With Cold Foil Silver and Gold adhesives, we are setting new standards in brilliance: our customers receive a premium printing solution that combines high safety and striking effects – ideal for a demanding market,’ said Patrick Hübel, director of global product and color management at hubergroup. 

Cold Foil Silver and Cold Foil Gold adhesives are now available globally.
