Abstract: A method for packaging a food product is provided. The method can comprise receiving at least one piece of packaging material (PM) in a packaging machine, said packaging material (PM) comprising a cellulose-based mid-layer, an inside layer arranged to face the food product (FP), and an outside layer, wherein an ink-based print is provided on the outside layer, curing the inside layer of the at least one piece of packaging material (PM) such that ink particles, released from the outside layer to the inside layer, are bound to the inside layer, thereby preventing the ink particles from being released into the food product (FP), forming the at least one piece of packaging material (PM) into packages, and filling the packages with the food product (FP).

Abstract: A method (600) for packaging a food product is provided. The method can comprise receiving (602) at least one piece of packaging material (PM) in a packaging machine (500), said packaging material (PM) comprising a cellulose-based mid-layer (400), an inside layer (404) arranged to face the food product (FP), and an outside layer (402), wherein an ink-based print is provided on the outside layer (402), curing (604) the inside layer (404) of the at least one piece of packaging material (PM) such that ink particles (302), released from the outside layer (402) to the inside layer (404), are bound to the inside layer (404), thereby preventing the ink particles (302) from being released into the food product (FP), forming (606) the at least one piece of packaging material (PM) into packages (110), and filling (608) the packages (110) with the food product (FP).

Abstract: An apparatus for digital printing of carton-based packaging material for packages holding liquid food products is provided. The packaging material has a first side adapted to form outer surfaces of the packages and a second side adapted to form inner surfaces of the packages.

Abstract: A method of inkjet printing can include providing an inkjet ink comprising a radiation-curable material, inkjet printing the inkjet ink onto one or more substrates to produce one or more substrates having a printed surface and an unprinted surface, curing the printed surface of the one or more substrates by exposure to a source of actinic radiation and/or a first source of low-energy electron beam radiation, storing the one or more substrates such that the printed surface of the one or more substrates is in contact with the unprinted surface of the one or more substrates, and separating the printed and unprinted surfaces of the one or more substrates and sterilising the one or more substrates by exposure to a second source of low-energy electron beam radiation.
