Message: [QUOTE="ElviraVaughn, post: 228654, member: 24989"] It’s great that you’re diving into the world of custom food tray printing there’s a lot of innovation happening in this space! I’ve had some experience working with printing on food packaging materials, so here are a few insights: [LIST=1] [*][B]Printing Techniques[/B]: For vibrant and durable prints on cardboard, [B]flexographic printing[/B] is often a go to option. It’s cost effective for large runs and works well with eco friendly water based inks. If you’re after higher detail, [B]digital printing[/B] is another great option, especially for smaller batches or intricate designs. [*][B]Eco-Friendly Solutions[/B]: You might want to explore [B]soy based or vegetable based inks[/B], as they’re not only eco friendly but also food safe. Pairing these with recyclable or compostable materials helps maintain a sustainable approach. [*][B]Food Safety Standards[/B]: Ensure the inks and coatings used are compliant with [B]FDA or EU food safety regulations[/B] (depending on where you’re based). Barrier coatings can also help protect the food without compromising print quality. [*][B]Cost Balancing[/B]: While high quality digital printing can get pricey for large orders, combining it with [B]spot printing[/B] or minimal designs can keep costs manageable without sacrificing visual appeal. [/LIST] I checked out Tray Crafters and they seem like a solid option if they offer printing services, asking about their ink types and sustainability practices might be a good next step. Good luck with your project! Feel free to ask if you have more questions I’d be happy to help. [/QUOTE]
