hubergroup expands its TINKREDIBLE MGA metal decoration ink system globally, offering safe, durable, and high-performance solutions for food packaging cans.
hubergroup Print Solutions has announced the global rollout of its well-established metal decoration ink system, TINKREDIBLE MGA. After achieving strong adoption among leading manufacturers in Europe and India, the company is now introducing the mineral oil-free, BPA-free, and PFAS-free ink series to customers worldwide. The system has been specifically developed for both monobloc and three-piece metal cans, offering exceptional print quality, reliable production performance, and full compliance with strict international food safety standards. Printers and converters interested in learning more about the technology will have the opportunity to explore it during METPACK 2026, taking place in Essen, Germany from May 5–8, 2026.
As the demand for safer and more sustainable food packaging continues to grow worldwide, hubergroup is strengthening its presence in the metal decoration sector with the expansion of TINKREDIBLE MGA. The ink series is formulated as a low-migration solution and is widely recognized for delivering vibrant colour quality, strong durability, and stable performance even in demanding industrial printing environments. These properties make it particularly suitable for offset printing on metal cans used for food, pet food, and beverage packaging applications.
TINKREDIBLE MGA has been engineered to meet the mechanical, thermal, and regulatory challenges associated with modern food packaging production. The ink provides excellent flexibility and demonstrates low yellowing, while also maintaining high resistance to heat and sterilisation processes. It performs reliably on both coated and uncoated metal substrates. Thanks to its advanced chemical composition, the ink system also offers strong resistance to scratches, moisture, and other external influences that may occur during production, transportation, or storage. This ensures not only consumer safety but also consistent visual appeal for premium packaging designs.
Over the years, TINKREDIBLE MGA has established a strong reputation among major manufacturers in Europe due to its dependable performance, stable colour reproduction, and consistent process reliability. It has proven especially effective in demanding applications such as tuna cans, where packaging must meet strict requirements for long shelf life, regulatory compliance, and uniform print quality. Building on this proven track record, hubergroup is now extending access to this technology to printers and packaging companies across international markets.
According to Jan Museler, Product Manager for Metal Decoration at hubergroup, TINKREDIBLE MGA is not a newly introduced product but rather a mature and thoroughly tested ink system. Its long-standing reliability and performance have made it a trusted solution in the metal packaging sector. With the global expansion, the company aims to enable printers, converters, and brand owners worldwide to meet the highest standards in packaging safety, operational efficiency, and design quality.
The TINKREDIBLE MGA product portfolio includes a wide variety of options such as process colours, opaque whites, metallic inks, and special colours. These are supported by hubergroup’s mixing system, which allows customised formulations tailored to specific production requirements. This flexibility enables brand owners and packaging printers to develop distinctive metal packaging designs while maintaining compliance with regional regulatory standards.
With the worldwide introduction of TINKREDIBLE MGA, hubergroup continues its commitment to supporting the metal packaging industry with innovative and future-ready technologies. During METPACK 2026, visitors will also be able to learn more about other solutions from the company, including its NewV tin UV series designed for advanced metal decoration applications.
