reduction in regulatory queries with IgeraIndustria indexing the full body of packaging regulation
Use cases: food contact, REACH and thermoforming
Food contact — EU Reg. 10/2011 & FDA 21 CFR
Authorized monomers and additives, migration limits (OML/SML), required testing and how to document the declaration of conformity for every packaging reference sold in the EU or US.
Technical specifications by reference
Basis weight, thickness, mechanical strength, O2/H2O barrier, product compatibility and sealing conditions. Instant lookup by packaging reference code.
REACH printing inks for packaging
Restriction on primary aromatic amines (PAA), heavy metals and SVHC substances in food-packaging printing inks. EuPIA positive list for food-contact inks.
Thermoforming defect troubleshooting
Pinholes, wrinkling, poor definition: each defect links to the causing process parameter (temperature, speed, thickness) and the corrective SOP.
Multivac, Ulma, GEA manuals
Format changes, sealing parameter adjustment, preventive maintenance and fault troubleshooting for thermoformers and sealing equipment. Accessible from the production line.
Sustainable packaging — EU PPWR
Minimum recycled content, single-use restrictions, design-for-recyclability and producer EPR obligations. Current regulation and transition timelines.

Frequently asked questions — packaging manufacturing
Can it answer questions about food-contact material regulation (EU Reg. 10/2011, 1935/2004; FDA 21 CFR 175-178)?
Yes. EC Regulation 1935/2004 (general framework), EU Regulation 10/2011 (plastics in contact with food) and the FDA 21 CFR 175-178 series for the US market are pre-indexed. IgeraIndustria informs on authorized materials, permitted monomers and additives, overall and specific migration limits (OML/SML), and how to draft the declaration of conformity for each packaging reference — for both EU and US-bound production.
How does it manage the technical specifications for each packaging reference?
IgeraIndustria indexes the technical data sheet for every reference: basis weight, thickness, mechanical strength, barrier properties (O2, H2O), product compatibility and sealing conditions. The quality and development team looks up a reference and receives the full specification with validated parameters.
Does it help with REACH regulation for packaging printing inks?
Yes. The REACH restriction on printing inks for packaging includes the restriction on primary aromatic amines (PAA) in inks that contact food, heavy metal restrictions and the list of substances authorized under the EuPIA framework. IgeraIndustria answers on the conformity of each ink with applicable restrictions.
Can it answer questions about thermoforming defects and their causes?
Yes. IgeraIndustria indexes the thermoforming defect guides: pinholes (excessive temperature, insufficient thickness), wrinkling (uneven temperature, incorrect forming speed), poor corner definition (insufficient temperature, short forming time). Each defect includes the corresponding SOP adjustment parameters.
Does it work with thermoforming and sealing equipment manuals (Multivac, Ulma, GEA)?
Yes. It indexes thermoformer manuals (Multivac R, Ulma TF, AMCO) and sealing equipment (Ulma FS, GEA Tiromat). Technicians look up format changes, sealing parameter adjustment, preventive maintenance and fault troubleshooting directly from the production line.
Does it manage format-change and validation procedures?
Yes. IgeraIndustria indexes format-change procedures (thermoforming mold change, sealer adjustment) and the validation protocols for every format: seal integrity testing, peel testing, drop testing and hermetic seal verification before production start.
Does it help with sustainable packaging regulation (EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation)?
Yes. IgeraIndustria has the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR, Regulation (EU) 2025/40) and its predecessor Directive 94/62/EC indexed. It informs on minimum recycled content targets, restrictions on certain single-use packaging formats, design-for-recyclability requirements and producer obligations under EPR schemes. See our dedicated PPWR compliance page for the full regulatory breakdown by packaging category and deadline.
