G7 Color Scoring System Color consistency verified batch by batch

Available as an optional service on request: for orders that require tight color consistency, we calibrate the press with the G7 international color-control method and score each printed batch by color difference (Delta E), so different machines and different runs hold the same color.

01

Gray balance & tone-curve calibration

We set neutral gray right on the press first: G7-based correction of ink density and tone curves (NPDC) removes color drift between machines.

02

One color target for proofing and press

Digital proofs and production runs share the same color target (GRACoL / ISO 12647-2), and the press follows the calibrated curve, so approvals rarely turn into repeated ink adjustments.

03

Delta E scoring at every checkpoint

First-off approval, in-run sampling and final inspection are all scored by Delta E. Anything above the threshold stops for ink adjustment and re-scoring — it never moves on unreleased.

04

Data archived for exact reprints

Density, gray balance and Delta E records are archived with each job, so reprints and repeat orders restart from the same color standard instead of guessing.

Delta E scoring standard (sampled from the same job and batch)

ΔE ≤ 1.5 Excellent — target for premium brand packaging
ΔE ≤ 2.0 Acceptable — common release standard for commercial print
ΔE > 2.0 Not released — stop, adjust ink and re-score

G7 is the international print color-control method defined by Idealliance (US), built on neutral gray balance and tone reproduction curves and aligned with color targets such as GRACoL 2013 and ISO 12647-2. Delta E thresholds can be adjusted to your own brand standard or product type; the approved signed proof always prevails.

一、认识欧盟 PPWR

PPWR 全称《包装和包装废弃物法规》(Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, (EU) 2025/40),于 2025 年 2 月 11 日生效,2026 年 8 月 12 日起正式适用。它取代原 94/62/EC 指令,成为在欧盟全境直接生效、无需各成员国转化的法规。

  • 管控范围:所有投放欧盟市场的包装及包装组件,不论材质(纸、塑料、金属、玻璃、纺织等),食品接触与非食品接触包装均在内。
  • 五项核心要求:可回收设计(DfR)、再生料含量、减量化(含空隙率)、统一材质标识、有害物质限制。
  • 对出口企业的实际含义:包装不再只是“好看好用”,而要有可核查的材料成分、检测报告与技术文档;品牌方通常会在下单前要求供应商提供这些文件。

关键时间表

  • 2026 年 8 月 12 日法规整体适用;食品接触包装 PFAS 限值同步生效(第 5 条第 5 款)。
  • 2028 年 2 月 12 日茶包、咖啡胶囊、果蔬标签等可堆肥要求;餐饮(HORECA)需提供可重复使用包装选项。
  • 2028 年 8 月 12 日包装需加施统一材质标识(harmonised label);分组包装、运输包装与电商包装最大空隙率不超过 50%。
  • 2030 年 1 月 1 日包装须达到可回收设计等级 A/B/C;塑料包装开始执行最低再生料含量要求。
  • 2035 年 1 月 1 日需满足“规模化回收”(recyclability at scale)要求。
  • 2038 年 1 月 1 日只有可回收等级 A 或 B 的包装才允许投放欧盟市场。

二、有害物质限值

重金属总量(所有包装)

≤ 100 mg/kg

铅(Pb)+ 镉(Cd)+ 汞(Hg)+ 六价铬(Cr VI)四种重金属的浓度总和,适用于包装及包装组件的任何部分,不受食品接触与否限制(第 5 条第 4 款)。

油墨、色母、涂层与再生纸浆是常见超标环节。

PFAS(食品接触包装,2026-08-12 起)

≤ 25 ppb/单项

任一 PFAS 单项浓度(靶向 PFAS 分析,聚合物 PFAS 不计入定量)。

≤ 250 ppb/总和

PFAS 总和(靶向分析,必要时先对前体物做降解处理;聚合物 PFAS 不计入定量)。

≤ 50 mg/kg(含聚合物 PFAS)

若总氟(total fluorine)超过 50 mg/kg,制造商/进口商应按要求提供氟含量证明(区分 PFAS 与非 PFAS),用于编制技术文档。

条文澄清(以欧盟官方文本为准):“PFAS 总和 ≤ 50 ppb”的说法不准确。在 (EU) 2025/40 第 5 条第 5 款中,PFAS 总和限值为 250 ppb;数字 50 对应的是“含聚合物 PFAS 的 PFAS 总量 ≤ 50 mg/kg(即 50 ppm)”以及“总氟超过 50 mg/kg 时需提供证明”这两个要求。

另需注意:PFOA 及其盐类、PFOA 相关化合物已被列入欧盟 POPs 法规 (EU) 2019/1021 限制清单(PFOA 及其盐类限值 0.025 mg/kg,即 25 ppb),该项限制不限于食品接触包装,普通彩盒、吊牌、胶带、绳带同样需要关注。

三、包装组件怎么管控:检测项目与合规文件

PPWR 的合规责任以“包装”为单位,但风险几乎都来自组件。下表按我们日常出货的六类组件梳理:

包装组件主要合规风险建议检测项目需要的合规证明文件
纸箱/彩盒
(含覆膜、复合、淋膜纸)
重金属总量超标;食品接触时 PFAS/总氟超标;覆膜与胶黏剂引入额外风险;再生纸浆来源不明 重金属总量(Pb+Cd+Hg+Cr VI);PFAS 靶向分析;总氟测定;食品接触迁移试验(如适用);定量、水分、环压/耐破等物理指标(客户常要求) FSC/PEFC 证书(如作声明);纸厂与成品 COA;PPWR 技术文档(附件 VII);EU 符合性声明(DoC);食品接触符合性声明((EC) 1935/2004 第 16 条)
泡沫
(EPS/EPE/EPP 缓冲材)
EPS 一次性食品、饮料容器已被禁止投放欧盟市场;阻燃剂(如 HBCD)受 POPs 限制;苯乙烯单体迁移;影响可回收等级评定 重金属总量;苯乙烯单体残留/迁移(食品接触);HBCD 等阻燃剂筛查;PFAS 筛查(带功能涂层时) 材质成分声明;MSDS;食品接触符合性声明(如适用);回收/可回收性说明;建议以 EPE、纸浆模塑或瓦楞结构替代 EPS
油墨
(UV 油墨、水性油墨)
颜料中重金属;UV 光引发剂迁移;矿物油 MOSH/MOAH;偶氮颜料分解释放致癌芳香胺;部分助剂含氟 重金属总量;食品接触迁移试验(EN 1186/EN 13130 系列或客户指定方法);MOSH/MOAH;初级芳香胺(PAA);光引发剂残留 EuPIA 良好生产规范符合声明;瑞士油墨条例 SR 817.023.21 合规声明;低迁移油墨声明;MSDS;食品接触符合性声明
胶水/胶黏剂 溶剂残留(苯类);游离甲醛;VOC;重金属;初级芳香胺;增塑剂 重金属总量;食品接触迁移试验;VOC/溶剂残留;游离甲醛;初级芳香胺 FDA 21 CFR 175.105(食品接触胶黏剂)或德国 BfR 相应推荐条目合规声明;食品接触符合性声明;MSDS;批次 COA
封箱胶
(BOPP 压敏胶带等)
塑料基材影响可回收设计评分;离型剂与助剂可能含氟;重金属与溶剂残留 重金属总量;PFAS 靶向分析+总氟筛查;溶剂残留;剥离强度(物理性能) 成分声明与 MSDS;EU 符合性声明;如涉食品接触需食品级胶带声明;减量与可回收兼容说明(缩小胶带面积或选水性胶系)
绳带/织带
(棉绳、涤纶带、纸绳、丝带)
防水防污整理剂可能含 PFAS;偶氮染料;甲醛;染料中重金属;涂层增塑剂 PFAS 靶向分析+总氟;可分解致癌芳香胺偶氮染料(EN 14362-1/-3);甲醛(EN ISO 14184);重金属(EN 16711-1/-2 或 ICP 法);邻苯类(带涂层时) 纺织品检测报告或 OEKO-TEX 证书(如适用);成分声明;EU 符合性声明;食品接触用途需提供食品接触声明

说明:具体标准版本、检出限与判定规则以检测机构认可范围、买家规格书及欧盟最新文本为准。

四、检测费用参考

  • 单项 PFAS 靶向检测报告:约 ¥600/项(不同实验室、不同物质清单差异较大)。
  • 食品级总氟检测:约 ¥4,000–5,000/样品(燃烧离子色谱法等仪器成本较高)。
  • 重金属总量、迁移试验、偶氮染料、甲醛等项目请以实验室报价为准。

以上为市场参考价,不含加急费、复检费与报告翻译费,最终以检测机构正式报价为准。

五、特别提示:过膜纸与 PFAS

过膜(覆膜)、复合与淋膜类纸制品,基本难以满足 PFAS/总氟要求。

原因在于这类结构多了一层塑料薄膜与胶黏剂,即使纸基材本身合格,整件产品的总氟筛查结果仍很容易超过 50 mg/kg;而 PPWR 把聚合物 PFAS 也计入“PFAS 总量 ≤ 50 mg/kg”这一限值,所以靶向 PFAS 单项达标,并不等于整件包装达标。

实操建议

  • 食品接触用途优先采用无覆膜 + 水性涂层/水性光油结构,从设计端规避风险。
  • 确需覆膜时,先做总氟筛查(成本较高但结论明确),再决定是否做靶向 PFAS 分析。
  • 向膜材与胶水供应商索取成分声明与 PFAS 声明,并保留批次可追溯记录。
  • 最终判定以实验室实测报告与最新法规文本为准。

六、我们需要为你准备哪些文件

  • 技术文档(PPWR 附件 VII):包装描述与用途、材料清单与图纸、所采用标准清单、可回收性评估说明、检测报告。
  • EU 符合性声明(DoC):按包装类型出具并留存——一次性包装自投放市场起 5 年,可重复使用包装 10 年。
  • 食品接触文件:符合性声明((EC) 1935/2004 第 16 条)与良好生产规范 (EC) 2023/2006,必要时附 BfR XXXVI、FDA 21 CFR 176.170 等材料合规声明。
  • 供应链文件:COA/COC、MSDS、FSC/PEFC 证书,以及油墨(EuPIA、瑞士条例 SR 817.023.21)、胶黏剂(FDA 21 CFR 175.105 等)专项声明。
  • 检测报告:重金属总量、PFAS 靶向分析、总氟、迁移试验、偶氮染料与甲醛等,按买家要求组合。

1. Understanding EU PPWR

PPWR stands for the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (EU) 2025/40. It entered into force on 11 February 2025 and applies from 12 August 2026. It replaces Directive 94/62/EC and is directly applicable in every EU Member State without national transposition.

  • Scope: all packaging and packaging components placed on the EU market, regardless of material (paper, plastic, metal, glass, textile) and whether or not it is food-contact.
  • Five core requirements: design for recycling (DfR), recycled content, minimisation (including empty space), harmonised labelling, and restrictions on substances of concern.
  • What it means for exporters: packaging now needs verifiable material composition, test reports and technical documentation — buyers usually request these files before placing orders.

Key timeline

  • 12 August 2026The Regulation applies in full; PFAS limits for food-contact packaging take effect (Article 5(5)).
  • 12 February 2028Compostability requirements for tea bags, coffee pads and fruit & vegetable stickers; HORECA must offer re-usable packaging options.
  • 12 August 2028Harmonised material labelling; maximum empty space ratio of 50% for grouped, transport and e-commerce packaging.
  • 1 January 2030Packaging must reach recyclability performance grades A, B or C; minimum recycled content starts to apply to plastic packaging.
  • 1 January 2035Recyclability “at scale” requirement applies.
  • 1 January 2038Only packaging in grades A or B may be placed on the EU market.

2. Limits for substances of concern

Heavy metals (all packaging)

≤ 100 mg/kg

The sum of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) and hexavalent chromium (Cr VI) in packaging or packaging components — regardless of food contact (Article 5(4)).

Inks, masterbatches, coatings and recycled pulp are common sources of exceedance.

PFAS (food-contact packaging, from 12 Aug 2026)

≤ 25 ppb per individual PFAS

Measured with targeted PFAS analysis; polymeric PFAS are excluded from quantification.

≤ 250 ppb total

Sum of PFAS by targeted analysis, where applicable with prior degradation of precursors; polymeric PFAS excluded.

≤ 50 mg/kg (including polymeric PFAS)

If total fluorine exceeds 50 mg/kg, the manufacturer or importer must, upon request, provide proof of the fluorine content (PFAS vs non-PFAS) for the technical documentation.

Clarification (official text prevails): the figure “sum of PFAS ≤ 50 ppb” is not accurate. Under Article 5(5) of (EU) 2025/40 the total PFAS limit is 250 ppb. The number 50 corresponds to “PFAS including polymeric PFAS ≤ 50 mg/kg (50 ppm)” and to the “total fluorine above 50 mg/kg” trigger for providing evidence.

Also note: PFOA, its salts and PFOA-related compounds are listed under the EU POPs Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 (limit 0.025 mg/kg, i.e. 25 ppb for PFOA and its salts). That restriction is not limited to food-contact packaging — ordinary cartons, hang tags, tapes and cords all need attention.

3. How to control each packaging component

Compliance is assessed per packaging unit, but the risks come from the components. The table below covers the six component groups we handle most often:

ComponentMain compliance risksRecommended testsRequired compliance documents
Cartons / folding boxes
(incl. film-laminated & coated)
Heavy metal content; PFAS / total fluorine for food contact; extra risk from lamination film and adhesives; unknown recycled pulp sources Total heavy metals (Pb+Cd+Hg+Cr VI); targeted PFAS analysis; total fluorine; food-contact migration testing (if applicable); grammage, moisture, ring crush / bursting strength FSC / PEFC certificates (if claimed); mill and finished-goods COA; PPWR technical documentation (Annex VII); EU Declaration of Conformity; food-contact DoC (Article 16 of (EC) 1935/2004)
Foam
(EPS / EPE / EPP)
Single-use EPS food and beverage containers are banned on the EU market; flame retardants such as HBCD are POPs-restricted; styrene monomer migration; negative impact on recyclability grading Total heavy metals; styrene monomer residue / migration (food contact); HBCD and other flame retardant screening; PFAS screening (if functional coating) Material composition statement; MSDS; food-contact DoC (if applicable); recycling / recyclability statement; consider EPE, moulded pulp or corrugated inserts instead of EPS
Inks
(UV and water-based)
Heavy metals in pigments; UV photoinitiator migration; mineral oil MOSH / MOAH; azo pigments releasing carcinogenic amines; fluorinated additives Total heavy metals; food-contact migration tests (EN 1186 / EN 13130 series or buyer-specified); MOSH / MOAH; primary aromatic amines (PAA); photoinitiator residues EuPIA Good Manufacturing Practice statement; Swiss Ordinance SR 817.023.21 compliance statement; low-migration ink declaration; MSDS; food-contact DoC
Glues & adhesives Solvent residues (aromatics); free formaldehyde; VOC; heavy metals; primary aromatic amines; plasticisers Total heavy metals; food-contact migration tests; VOC / solvent residues; free formaldehyde; primary aromatic amines FDA 21 CFR 175.105 (adhesives) or the applicable German BfR recommendation compliance statement; food-contact DoC; MSDS; batch COA
Carton sealing tape
(BOPP pressure-sensitive)
Plastic substrate lowers design-for-recycling scores; release agents and additives may contain fluorine; heavy metals and solvent residues Total heavy metals; targeted PFAS plus total fluorine screening; solvent residues; peel adhesion (physical performance) Composition statement and MSDS; EU Declaration of Conformity; food-grade tape declaration if food contact is involved; reduction / recyclability compatibility notes (smaller tape area or water-based adhesive)
Cords, twill & ribbons
(cotton, polyester, paper, satin)
Water- and stain-repellent finishes may contain PFAS; azo dyes; formaldehyde; heavy metals in dyestuffs; plasticisers in coatings Targeted PFAS plus total fluorine; azo dyes releasing carcinogenic amines (EN 14362-1 / -3); formaldehyde (EN ISO 14184); heavy metals (EN 16711-1 / -2 or ICP); phthalates (coated items) Textile test report or OEKO-TEX certificate (if applicable); composition statement; EU Declaration of Conformity; food-contact statement for food applications

Standard versions, detection limits and pass / fail rules follow the accredited scope of the testing laboratory, the buyer specification and the latest EU text.

4. Testing cost reference

  • Targeted PFAS test report: approx. RMB 600 per item (varies widely by laboratory and substance list).
  • Food-grade total fluorine test: approx. RMB 4,000–5,000 per sample (combustion ion chromatography and similar instrumentation are costly).
  • Heavy metals, migration tests, azo dyes and formaldehyde are quoted individually by the laboratory.

Indicative market prices only — excluding expedited service, re-testing and report translation. The laboratory quotation is final.

5. Special note: film-laminated paper and PFAS

Film-laminated, laminated and extrusion-coated paper is generally very difficult to make compliant with PFAS / total fluorine requirements.

The reason is the added plastic film and adhesive: even when the paper substrate itself passes, the finished article can easily exceed 50 mg/kg in total fluorine screening. PPWR counts polymeric PFAS within the “PFAS total ≤ 50 mg/kg” limit, so passing the targeted PFAS items does not mean the whole packaging passes.

Practical recommendations

  • For food contact, prefer unlaminated board with water-based coatings or varnish to avoid the risk at the design stage.
  • If lamination is unavoidable, run a total fluorine screening first (more expensive but conclusive) before ordering targeted PFAS analysis.
  • Ask film and adhesive suppliers for composition and PFAS declarations, and keep batch traceability records.
  • The final determination always follows the laboratory report and the latest regulatory text.

6. Documents we prepare for you

  • Technical documentation (PPWR Annex VII): packaging description and intended use, component materials and drawings, list of standards applied, recyclability assessment, test reports.
  • EU Declaration of Conformity: drawn up per packaging type and retained — 5 years for single-use packaging, 10 years for re-usable packaging after placing on the market.
  • Food-contact documents: Declaration of Compliance (Article 16 of (EC) 1935/2004) and Good Manufacturing Practice (EC) 2023/2006, plus BfR XXXVI, FDA 21 CFR 176.170 material statements where relevant.
  • Supply chain documents: COA / COC, MSDS, FSC / PEFC certificates, and supplier declarations for inks (EuPIA, Swiss Ordinance SR 817.023.21) and adhesives (FDA 21 CFR 175.105 and equivalents).
  • Test reports: total heavy metals, targeted PFAS, total fluorine, migration, azo dyes and formaldehyde — combined according to buyer requirements.
