Sun Chemical is Innovator of the Year in Stationers’ Awards
Sun Chemical’s SunJet division has won the Stationers’ Company overall Innovator of the Year Award for its low-migration inkjet ink, which is safe to use for food packaging.
The firm beat off competition from 32 other finalists in the Innovation Excellence Awards, held at the Stationers' Hall yesterday, to win the top accolade.
Its SunJet EtiJet UV inks for narrow-web and labels, and Amphora range for packaging, only contain materials that are on approved lists and comply with the Swiss Ordinance standard.
The Stationers’ judges praised the formulation for “making food packaging more safe in the digital arena” and for its “novel chemistry to prevent the ingredients in packaging ink migrating into food”.
