From color boxes to anti-counterfeit variable-data cards, we have grown alongside countless businesses.
You focus on expressing — we focus on presenting.
More than printing and packaging, we start from our customers' needs. We have refined print production, color management and quality control into foundational capabilities, working hand in hand with brands across consumer goods, retail, electronics, pharmaceuticals and apparel to make every brand promotion and product delivery an effective touchpoint between brand and consumer.

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.
We set neutral gray right on the press first: G7-based correction of ink density and tone curves (NPDC) removes color drift between machines.
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.
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.
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)
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.
What the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (EU) 2025/40 requires, how to control each packaging component, and which test reports and compliance documents you need.
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。
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。
任一 PFAS 单项浓度(靶向 PFAS 分析,聚合物 PFAS 不计入定量)。
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)。
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。
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) |

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。
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。
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。

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.
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.
Measured with targeted PFAS analysis; polymeric PFAS are excluded from quantification.
Sum of PFAS by targeted analysis, where applicable with prior degradation of precursors; polymeric PFAS excluded.
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.
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:
| Component | Main compliance risks | Recommended tests | Required 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.
Indicative market prices only — excluding expedited service, re-testing and report translation. The laboratory quotation is final.
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.
