My Latest Project in Printing Ink & Packaging about Halal Certification

The relationship between halal certification for ink and packaging and HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) though from different perspectives.

Halal Certification for Ink and Packaging
Halal certification ensures that:
Inks, adhesives, and coatings used in packaging do not contain haram (forbidden) substances, such as alcohol or animal-derived ingredients from non-halal sources.

HACCP and Chemical Hazards
HACCP focuses on identifying and controlling chemical, biological, and physical hazards in food production. In the context of packaging:
Ink migration is considered a chemical hazard.
HACCP plans must assess whether substances from packaging (like solvents or photoinitiators in ink) could leach into food.

When we talk about ink and packaging as chemical hazards in the context of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), we're focusing on how certain substances used in packaging—especially printing inks—can potentially contaminate food and compromise safety.

Why Ink Can Be a Chemical Hazard



Printing inks used on food packaging may contain:
Solvents
Heavy metals
Photoinitiators
Plasticizers

If these chemicals migrate from the packaging into the food (a process called migration), they can pose health risks. This is especially concerning for packaging that comes into direct contact with food or is used in high-temperature environments (like microwaveable containers).

  By: Ir. Sugeng Endarsiwi, ASEAN Eng., ACPE The printing industry across ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries has seen significant growth and development in recent years. Here's an overview of the printing industry in some key ASEAN countries: 1. Indonesia : Indonesia has a vibrant printing industry, driven by its large population and growing economy. The country has a diverse range of printing companies offering services such as commercial printing, packaging, labels, and publishing. Digital printing technology has seen increased adoption, leading to faster production times and more customized print products. The industry benefits from government support and initiatives to promote technology adoption and skill development. 2. Thailand : Thailand has a well-established printing industry, known for its quality and innovation. The country is a hub for packaging and label printing, serving both domestic and international markets. Thai printers have invested in adv...

Polyacrylate Basics

  Acrylates are a family of polymers, which are a type of  vinyl polymer . Acrylates are of course made from acrylate monomers, and it's about time we explained what those are. Acrylate monomers are usually esters which contain vinyl groups, that is, two carbon atoms double-bonded to each other, directly attached to the carbonyl carbon of the ester group. Some polymers (especially copolymers) contain the free acid, acrylic acid as shown below. https://pslc.ws/macrog/acrylate.htm
