UV LED Inks for Sausage Casings & Flexible Food Packaging

Efficient, Food-Safe, and Sustainable Printing Solutions

We are excited to introduce RESUCAT UV LED inks, specifically developed for printing on sausage casings and flexible food packaging such as shrink bags and films. With a strong focus on food safety, high-performance durability, and sustainability, our UV LED ink solutions are designed to meet the unique challenges of the food packaging industry.

We offer traditional UV curing with mercury lamps, UV LED curing, and Dual Cure technology, ensuring that you have the right solution for your specific production needs. Our UV LED technology, in particular, provides a future-proof, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly alternative.

Designed for Food Packaging & Safety

Unlike general-purpose UV inks, RESUCAT UV LED inks are specifically formulated for food packaging applications. This means every raw material used in our inks is carefully selected to ensure compliance with EU food regulations and migration standards.

For producers of printed sausage casings and food packaging, safety is essential. Our inks are developed with low migration properties, meaning they do not transfer unwanted substances to the food product. Additionally, they are low-odor, ensuring that packaging does not affect the taste or quality of the food inside.

Durability in High-Temperature Processing

Food packaging, especially sausage casings and shrink films, often undergoes extreme conditions such as boiling, pasteurization, and sterilization. Many standard printing inks struggle to maintain adhesion and color quality under these conditions—but RESUCAT UV LED inks are different.

Our inks are designed to withstand high temperatures without losing adhesion, cracking, or fading. This makes them an ideal choice for food products that require heat treatment or extended shelf life.

Strong Adhesion Without the Need for Primers

One of the biggest challenges in printing on flexible packaging is achieving strong adhesion to plastic substrates. RESUCAT UV LED inks adhere exceptionally well to materials such as polyamide and other plastics—without requiring additional primers or protective topcoats.

This means a more efficient production process, reducing costs and simplifying workflows while ensuring that prints remain sharp and intact throughout the product’s lifecycle.

The Sustainable Choice – Why Print with UV LED Inks?

3 Key Environmental Benefits of UV LED Inks

Printing with UV curing inks offers significant environmental benefits compared to traditional solvent-based inks. Here’s why manufacturers are making the switch:

No harmful solvent emissions – Traditional solvent-based inks release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which contribute to air pollution. UV LED inks eliminate this issue.
No need for ATEX-certified equipment – Since UV LED inks do not contain solvents, explosion-proof equipment is not required, reducing operational costs and complexity.
Less ink waste – Traditional solvent-based two-component (2K) inks must be discarded after a certain period. UV LED inks eliminate this waste, making production more efficient and sustainable.

Environmental Benefits of UV LED

Switching to UV LED curing offers multiple advantages for both manufacturers and the environment.

Lower energy consumption: UV LED lamps reduce electricity usage by up to 50% compared to mercury lamps.
Longer lifespan: UV LED lamps last significantly longer, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
No ozone emissions: Mercury lamps emit ozone, which has a strong odor and a negative environmental impact. With UV LED technology, there is no ozone emission, making the workplace safer and the production process more eco-friendly.

Technical Advantages of UV LED Lamps

UV LED lamps improve productivity and print quality in multiple ways:

Instant power: Unlike mercury lamps, which require warm-up time, UV LED lamps provide full power instantly.
Lower heat emission: Ideal for heat-sensitive materials like thin plastic films and shrink bags, reducing the risk of substrate distortion.
Higher intensity curing: The stronger UV LED light ensures faster and more consistent curing, leading to improved print quality and reduced downtime.

Economic Benefits of UV LED Printing

Investing in UV LED technology is not just an environmentally friendly decision—it also makes financial sense.

Lower energy costs: UV LED curing can reduce electricity consumption by 40-50%.
Fewer replacements: The longer lifespan of UV LED lamps results in lower maintenance costs.
Higher efficiency: No warm-up time means increased production speeds and greater output capacity.

For companies considering an upgrade, the transition to UV LED is an investment in long-term sustainability, efficiency, and cost savings.
